Inquiry Update #3

So I have been implementing my strategies of giving the students a reflection or activity for them to do when they think they are "done" and don't have to do anything. I can see how affective this was. At the beginning, I had over half the class off-task. Now that I've started using these activities, usually all of my students are on-task. Occasionally there will be one that isn't but I am so happy with the results. It is making their work more useful for them and keeps them going.

  1. Did they come up with the activities or did you provide them with them? Perhaps they can come up with a list and monitor themselves a bit too. I am so glad that it worked out for you!
