Activity: “Mix-Pair-Share” review of their notes by sharing their answers and helping partner find information while training them to greet and be grateful “hi and thank you for sharing”. “Peer/partner discussion” to encourage listening skills by repeating in class what their peer/partner has said.
3) KINESTHETIC- “Corners” and “Mix-Pair-Share and Find Someone Who..”. Students move about to their chosen “corner” that they think holds the correct answer (this also serves as a consideration for re-teaching or not ). “ Mix-Pair-Share and Find Someone Who..” are also used to get the students re-acquainted with their notes.
Addressing Learning Styles/Multiple Intelligences:
a) VISUAL- Guide questions visible for reading in the Power Point during ‘Corners Activity’ , ‘ Mix-Pair-Share’ and ‘ Find Someone Who..’. Questions in boxes are visible to be read in the hand-out for the ‘Find Someone Who..’ activity.

c) KINESTHETIC- Taking notes and moving around the room
d) MUSICAL – Music is used in the ‘Mix-Pair-Share’ activity.
