WHO SAID IT?

5

"You call it hope, that fire of fire!"

Edgar Allan Poe

Taylor Swift

1

2

From “Tamerlane”

​

I have no time to dote or dream:

You call it hope — that fire of fire!

It is but agony of desire:

If I can hope — Oh God! I can —

Its fount is holier — more divine —

I would not call thee fool, old man,

But such is not a gift of thine.

WHO SAID IT?

6

"And all I loved, I loved alone."

Edgar Allan Poe

Taylor Swift

1

2

From “Alone”

​

And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—

Then—in my childhood—in the dawn

Of a most stormy life—was drawn

From ev’ry depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still—

WHO SAID IT?

7

"He looks up, grinning like a devil."

Edgar Allan Poe

Taylor Swift

1

2

From “Cruel Summer”

​

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

He looks up, grinning like a devil

WHO SAID IT?

8

"It was in the bleak December."

Edgar Allan Poe

Taylor Swift

1

2

From “The Raven”

​

“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—

Only this and nothing more.”

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

WHO SAID IT?

9

"All my flowers grew back as thorns."

Edgar Allan Poe

Taylor Swift

1

2

From “Call It What You Want”

​

All my flowers grew back as thorns

Windows boarded up after the storm

He built a fire just to keep me warm

All the drama queens taking swings

All the jokers dressing up as kings

WHO SAID IT?

10

"I wounded the good, and I trusted the wicked.”

Edgar Allan Poe

Taylor Swift

1

2

From “Daylight”

​

Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky

And so I became the butt of the joke

I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked

Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke

11

WARM UP IN ACTION

WHAT IS IT?

• A way to engage students in content with a culturally responsive approach (connecting content with topics that are meaningful to them)
• Each student is responsible for responding to each question - hand up, moving to a corner in the room, writing on a whiteboard, etc.
• Project from computer for easy visibility

COLLABORATION

• ALL students are active in the activity
• Students connect the content with a non-threatening experience, leaving a feeling of excitement and “awesome”
• COLLABORATION: �Level 1 (On my own)

12

WARM UP+ IN ACTION

HOW TO TECH+ THIS STRATEGY

POTENTIAL TECH TOOLS:

• Plickers
• Will provide real-time results
• Students must have their individual QR code paper
• Needs to be in-person for best results
• Explanation video
• Mentimeter
• Will provide real-time results
• Can be in-person or virtual

​

13

COLLABORATION: �Level 1 (On my own)

WRITE THE ROOM(+)

Take your average worksheet and use it to engage your whole class.

14

STUDENT RECOMMENDED

WRITE THE ROOM(+) �IN ACTION

WHAT IS IT?

• Separate students into partners or groups of 3.
• Create a worksheet that has at least 2 more questions than the number of groups.
• Create sheets with a question on the bottom and the answer to a different question on top.
• Students will start at a question, answer it, and then find another sheet in the room that has the correct answer on top.
• Students will then solve the problem on the bottom of the new sheet and continue the process.

15

Answer to #8

Question to #1

WRITE THE ROOM

IN ACTION

COLLABORATION

• Students are actively working students in their group
• Each student is completing questions on their own recording sheet
• Students are working in small groups, sharing what they know and learning from others about what they might not be comfortable with
• Students can consult with the teacher if they need assistance
• COLLABORATION: �Scaffolded Levels 1-2

16

WRITE THE ROOM+ �IN ACTION

HOW TO TECH+ THIS STRATEGY

POTENTIAL TECH TOOLS:

• Example
• Zoom Breakout Rooms / Google Meets
• Assign students to work in a virtual space with a partner/small group.
• Students work together to answer questions.
• Google Doc, Slide, or Drawing
• Provide a link to a digital answers (could be a video, image, Google Doc, or other source).
• Students can self-check their answer if need be before moving to next question.

17

COLLABORATION: �Scaffolded Levels 1-2

WORKSHEET(+)

Take your average worksheet and use it to get your whole class up and moving.

18

STUDENT RECOMMENDED

WORKSHEET IN ACTION

WHAT IS IT?

• Create a worksheet that has at least as many questions or problems where each student can be uniquely assigned one number to complete.
• Each student is responsible for answering their question/problem correctly.
• Students then need to individually meet with each student in the class to answer/solve another person’s question.

COLLABORATION

• Students are actively working with ALL students in the class
• Students are the expert on their question/problem, so they can coach others through how to answer
• COLLABORATION: �Scaffolded Levels 1-3

19

WORKSHEET+ IN ACTION

HOW TO TECH+ THIS STRATEGY

POTENTIAL TECH TOOLS:

• Google Doc, Slide, or Drawing
• Create a Google Document, Slide, or Drawing with the question/problem and the assigned expert.
• Students answer their expert question first and then begin working on the other question/problems. They can consulting among peers if needed.
• FlipGrid
• Students can record verbal answers to questions.
• Students can respond and ask questions on the answers their classmates have provided.

20

COLLABORATION: �Scaffolded Levels 1-3

IN THE BAG(+)

Take essential questions and have ALL students give input on that question.

21

TEACHER RECOMMENDED

IN THE BAG IN ACTION

WHAT IS IT?

• Write a question on a bag that you would like students to provide extended responses on. You will want at least 8 questions/bags.
• Separate students into small groups.
• On quarter sheets of paper, students write their answer, fold their paper, and place it in the bag.
• Students rotate through all stations/questions/bags following the same procedure.
• When they have completed all stations/questions/bags and are back where they started, they take out all answers and read them. They will consolidate the answers into one statement/solution to be shared with the whole class.
• Adapted from: https://www.teachingintentionally.com/blog/2019/7/13/collaboration-strategies-for-your-classroom

22

IN THE BAG IN ACTION

COLLABORATION

• Students start out working individually, but must collaborate with their small group to create a final product.
• Students are not responsible for being experts on everything all at once. They need everyone in the class to help them become an expert.
• COLLABORATION: �Scaffolded Levels 1-4

23

IN THE BAG+ IN ACTION

HOW TO TECH+ THIS STRATEGY

POTENTIAL TECH TOOLS:

• Google Forms (Example) and Google Sheets (Example)
• Create a Google Form with all of the questions. Make sure responses are linked to a Google Sheet.
• Students answer the question digitally instead of placing a piece of paper in a bag.
• Share a link with students to Google Sheet with all of the answers for their questions.
• Google Slides (Example)
• Create a Google Slides presentation with slides for each question. Share with students to edit.
• Students work together to consolidate the answers and place a final answer on the Slide for their question.

24

COLLABORATION: �Scaffolded Levels 1-4

COLLABORATION(+)

Take essential questions and have ALL students give input on that question.

25

TEACHER RECOMMENDED

COLLABORTION+ IN ACTION

WHAT IS IT?

• This is where you get to share!
• Take our individual IN-PERSON collaborative teaching and learning strategies and TECH+ them with suggestions and feedback from our peers.
• The intent is to help you think outside of what you already do, share online tools, and step outside of your comfort zone.
• Use a COLLABORATION+ strategy as a way to help us shift our thinking about the transition between in-person and virtual learning.
