I will definitely steal this idea. I have struggled with creating purposeful peer evaluations in my classroom.Mark Rabbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182413770827490093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328980815713762057.post-13540646819207807432012-09-29T19:09:52.819-07:002012-09-29T19:09:52.819-07:00Rachel,

This grammar lesson is the only time I ever have something on the SMART board and that is because I am able to place all of the grammar examples on each slide and move them into the proper spot in the sentence. However, every other time I use the SMART board it is with a blank page and I fill up the page with my students. I am able to save the page and print it out for my students so that they always have the information. I have learned that students learn better this way instead of having information already loaded on the SMART board. <br /><br />No, we are not writing poetry. I am attempting to get my students to write grammatically correct 200-word sentences. It is a difficult process because I have to teach the rules of grammar and then demonstrate how to break the rules of grammar. I do not often have my students write poetry, because I tend to write poetry at about a 2nd grade level and I write with my students. Over the past six years, I have embarrassed myself enough with attempting to write poetry.Mark Rabbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182413770827490093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328980815713762057.post-50510616794422538422012-09-29T18:25:39.875-07:002012-09-29T18:25:39.875-07:00Mark,

I think they really can engage students when used properly.<br /><br />I use the Hovercam in my classroom to peer critique my student's AP Biology free response questions. We use a rubric and then I show them how I would score the essay. Students can then peer evaluaute each other's essays once they have done a few as an entire class. I know it would be a great tool in an English class when evaluating writing samples. Hope this helps!<br /><br />AngieAngela Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590372923099174955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328980815713762057.post-40368438138495442962012-09-27T16:32:51.628-07:002012-09-27T16:32:51.628-07:00Mark, I am very interested in this plan and I woul...Mark, I am very interested in this plan and I would like to know a little more about it. My district is buying SmartBoards for teachers, and I have resisted accepting one because I do not know what I would use it for:) I could play jeopardy with it or show a movie:) But I have not had any PD with it, and so I asked not to be included in this round. I do not think I will be able to avoid it for much longer. What is Reuters? Do you mean http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures? I really think this sounds like a great plan. So many students are visual learners, and this sounds like it would be a very interesting class for them. Are you writing poetry?<br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874274667094956443noreply@blogger.com
