Module+Three

Let's start this morning with this video Our video this morning is Pay Attention. It can be accessed from a number of sites but one that I would like to bring your attention to is [|TeacherTube]. This is a site that is very similar to Youtube but is specifically for educators so most of the videos that you will find here are created and uploaded by teachers. media type="custom" key="52564"

Use follow up questions. Use question matrix Intel Thinking tools Teacher should listen to **all** responses for evidence of thinking Provide a summary to students between questions Inside/Outside Circle - use paraphrasing Value written and oral responses Wait time is important
