An engaging interactive sorting activity designed to make even your most able students think hard! Perfect for self paced, personalised learning!
How does it work?
Students have to decide which of the three stages of learning each of the statements presented to them belong. They simply drag the statement to what they believe is the correct stage of learning.
To add further challenge to the task, feedback (successful or unsuccessful) is reserved until students have completed the entire task.
When I gave this task to my students for the first time, they found it very difficult and I thought the task was too much for them, (they had no previous knowledge of stages of learning). However, having really grappled with the content and yes, made mistakes along the way, their knowledge and understanding of this topic is now solid. Making our students think hard is no bad thing!
Here's one suggestion of how you could use this resource:
-distribute the url address to your students so they can access the task on their mobile devices or PC.
-ask them to complete the task on their own - this will be challenging for some and will probably take some time.
-next, after a period of time, whether successful or not, pair students up with a partner so they can share their thoughts and work collaboratively.
-pairs then become fours (collaborative learning continues) and so on until you have a whole class discussion about why each statements belongs in a particular category.
- if you have AirPlay or Apple TV, why not have one or more of your students project their screen onto the class whiteboard or TV so that they can explain their thinking to the rest of the class.
-upon successfully completing the task students can take a screen shot of the correct version and store it electronically or print it.
