Overview
This robust set of videos, activity sheets, and short written summaries is designed for anyone to use when integrating speaking assignments and activities into college level courses. Each video highlights a specific student activity, applicable to any delivery mode, complete with a video introduction, template, and lesson plan to download. Open pedagogical opportunities are incorporated into several modules with emphasis on student led engagement. Created by Miranda Hawk at Madison Area Technical College.
Card Chat
Card Chat is simple to create and may be used in multiple teaching modes as well as curriculum areas. It is also simple to play. Once the preplanning is done (the cards are created), this game can be a spontaneous activity or planned assessment.
Purpose & Strategy When applied in the classroom, students engage in the curriculum and with each other by playing their cards to advance the content by asking questions or stating how they think, know, feel or connect with the content. This activity works at all levels of familiarity with content, either students just learning or developing a concept or to demonstrate mastery of a curricular concept.
Creating a Commercial
