I love the different organizers. I believe that with different organizers will help all of the students. Each student is different and having different ideas to hlep them organize their information will let the students figure out what works best for them. We can make it easier for our students to learn and each of them need to learn as much as they can. The Evaluation Checklist helps students to check themselves and also let the teacher check how they are doing in their interactions. The know-understand-do framework is great for looking at and breaking down subjects. Learning menus as mentioned in the book states that the students can focus on what they need to learn but gives them options in the learning process. I liked the Novel Think-Tac-Toe. I think it could be used many ways to get students to think about a book. I think that it can also give students a new perspective on the details in the book. RAFT again is another way that students can look at different topics and get more information. Tiering is essential to help students. We make the materials work for the students levels instead of trying to push them up too fast. The rubrics are a great place to start when you are looking at grading your students. I loved all the ideas that were in the book. There are so many ways that you can use them and different topics you could use them for. All of the ideas are at least a great place for teachers to start.

Great responses! I'll be excited to see if you are able to try any of these options during student teaching. Let me know if you do! 4 points
