SDAIE Strategies: 1. Finding a poem: child reads the literature aloud and summarizes the work to the whole class (or just to a classmate). The student can then write their own poem with similar vocab. and share to the class. 2. Group projects or presentations in which the students generates discussion with the class before, during and after the group presents. 3. Students can be tested with a writing portion which can improve their creativity and understanding of the material and prompt.


 * **SDAIE Strategy: Windowpane** ||
 * **Purpose:**
 * Learn the labels of “big & foundational ideas” by linking visual logo-graphic representations with a kinesthetic interpretation to a concept
 * Create a community of learners sharing a knowledge base
 * Contextualization, Text-Representation, Modeling || **Materials Needed:**
 * Large piece of paper divided into squares (the window pane needs to be symmetrical top-to-bottom)
 * Student Windowpane recording sheet
 * Chart markers.
 * Prepared motions, graphics, and scripts to accompany each window ||
 * **Procedure:**

1. Choose a “big idea” to teach: > a. Animal Classifications – (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)

> b. Expository Text Types (Description, Sequence, Compare-Contrast, Cause-Effect, Question-Answer, Persuasive) > c. Order of Operations > d. Primary & Secondary Sources in Social Science

2. Create a graphic to accompany each pane with an accompanying hand/arm motion. Be sure that you prepare your graphics ahead of time to ensure successful retention. 3. Arrange student desks ensuring that all students can see and can move. 4. Begin with pane one. Draw one line segment/part at a time. Students follow along line-by-line. 5. Students stand up. (Change of State) 6. Say the term. Syllabicate each term and have students repeat. For example: Modeling. Mo-del-ing. Modeling. Do the accompanying hand/arm motion at the same time. Practice with the students at least 3 times. 7. Students sit down. 8. Continue drawing each pane and have students mirror your actions and words. Students should change their state by standing up and sitting down each time you reveal a pane. 9. Practice the window pane using movement. Ask students to stand in the 1st pane (modeling) and say the term/do the motion. Have students step to the right and practice the 2nd pane. 10. Complete the pane section-by-section, having students repeat and mimic your movements. 11. After completion, have students step through the pane and practice. Repeat using various voice modulations (whispering, loud, silent, normal). 12. Revisit the chart periodically and review the panes sequentially to cement learning. 13. Linking Activity – Window Pane Redux/Human Multiple Choice. ||


 * **SDAIE Strategy: Human Multiple Choice** ||
 * **Purpose:**
 *  Provide a review of subject matter.
 *  Allow students to work together to answer questions around a structured task.
 *  Provide an opportunity for review.
 *  (Text-Representation, Bridging)   || ||
 * **Procedure:**
 * 1)   Arrange students in group that are configured to whatever number best fits your classroom setting. Groups of three but no more than five would be best. (//Groups of five would be ideal for testing conditions this makes them see the same five choices they will see in standardized testing conditions)//


 * 1)   Hand out letters to the group and allow them to choose the letter they would like to be.


 * 1)   On the Smart Board or whiteboard, present a question with 4 or 5 possible responses. Try to include two distracters to mirror the CASHEE/CST to practice test-taking strategies.


 * 1)   Students in teams should come to an agreement as to the correct response.


 * 1) <span style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">  Ask students to stand up and who are holding the letter that corresponds to the correct answer.


 * 1) <span style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">  If there is a disagreement, students should defend their reasoning and/or perform the problem-solving steps they used to arrive at their solution.


 * 1) <span style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">  In this case, pose the question once again and ask students who are holding the correct response to stand up. Come to consensus as a class.


 * 1) <span style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">  Continue until the review is complete.


 * 1) <span style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">  An excellent strategy is for the students to create the questions and potential responses to the review. You could jigsaw the text sections and ask for students to create questions for their section.   ||
