How to use the Strategy: *Strategy can be used any time, but is best used when reviewing a lesson to check for understanding. 1.The teacher presents a false fact about the lesson being taught.

Each student then presents his her agreement/disagreement in any of the following ways (teacher preference): · colored card (one color for agree, another color for disagree) · thumbs up/thumbs down · stand up/sit down 4.Teacher mentally notes students’ agreement/disagreement with the false fact and their reasoning. 5. Teacher adjusts his/her teaching for the remaining part of the class period or for the next day. 6. Students learn how to evaluate their agreement/disagreement with the false fact and make adjustments for their learning. *The teacher can also give out a correct fact and ask students if they agree/or disagree with the answer. |
