10 Great Warm up Activities For The Classroom. Warm up strategies for our classroom are an excellent teaching tool! We all know that starting the lesson with a good hook activity sets us up for a better chance of success. It captivates the students and draws them into the lesson - giving us the opportunity to "do our thing"! Below I have put together a few warm ups that my MAT professor Dr Cynthia Alby gave us as students - thanks Cynthia! The Evocative This is done by giving the students an evocative quotation, photo, scenario or song. You'd be suprised at what people can come up with, and more so, how wrong they can often be. Most importantly, in my opinion, it lets you know how to target the lesson, after all, it makes no sense to teach them what they are already know (unless you are deliberately using repetition) - they would just get bored.
Data Manipulation "A picture is worth a thousand words", so with this strategy we ask the students to draw a diagram of what they currently understand about the subject or concept. Pre-Quiz. Complete Big Book.pdf.

Reading & Writing (Literacy) - Common Core State Standards | Vermont Agency of Education. The Common Core Standards (English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects) set requirements not only for English language arts (ELA) but also for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. Just as students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, so too must the Standards specify the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines.
Students who meet the Standards develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundation for any creative and purposeful expression in language. (CCSS ELA/L p. 3) Questions? Achievethecore.org :: Home.
