1.6 Try It Out!
It's Your Turn
Using a text of your choice, select a type of strategy (i.e. activate prior knowledge, frontload vocabulary, etc.) and the most appropriate tool to create an activity for your students. Keep in mind that we suggested one way to use the tools but they could also be used with other intentions, for example, a word cloud tool could be used to make predictions or introduce a topic.
In this module, you’ve explored activities to:
introduce a topic and activate prior knowledge such as:
prepare for reading texts such as:
- using a presentation tool (Google presentation or PowerPoint) to have students predict elements of a story
- previewing a video with Digiview
- preparing students to listen to audio
