Say it in Six Words
For the past couple weeks in my Writing for Non-Print course we have been presenting lesson plans for developing digital literacies. Several of the lesson plans seemed like something I would love to use in my own classroom someday. The one that I liked the most was called Stop. Shoot. Send.

Sometimes students don't need to write a one thousand word essay to express what is on there mind, and fewer words may have a great impact.

I blogged about this as well! I really do love this idea- I think it will be so much fun to use in the classroom. Thanks for posting the sites you found!
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly a creative idea. A picture is worth a thousand words, a poet can do it in 6. I'm not sure if I'll ever use the lesson plan discussed as is, but seeing the creative aspect of summarizing and interpreting a moment in 6 concise words may be something I can use.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys liked this idea (: After presenting it, I am sure I would like to use this in my class as well. There are so many different ways that this can be used in a classroom and I think it's a beneficial way to teach students the art of summarizing.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty cool. I think they would be fun to use in the classroom! I remember discovering them in high school, thinking they would be easy, but they are actually pretty difficult to create (at least good ones).
