29. Mindstreaming is activity used to activate prior knowledge or build background. This activity is used in the Project CRISS (Creating Independence through Student-owned 30 Strategies) professional development trainings.
30. A "T" chart is a quick strategy to reinforce expected behaviors during an activity or strategy completion. The teacher draws a vertical line on the board, then at about two inches from the top of the line draw a horizontal line across and through the vertical line. This will form a "T". Draw an eye at the top of the left-hand column and an ear at the top of the right-hand column. Then elicit from the students what active nonverbal listening looks like and sounds like. Write their responses in the appropriate column. They have now set the ground rules and you can refer to the rules throughout the strategy lesson. This is a great strategy to help with classroom management.
31. Discussion Web is a strategy to help all students to rethink a topic, challenge view points, and acknowledge arguments. To learn more about discussion webs see Avlerman, 1991 and Buehl, 2001. This activity is used in the Project CRISS (Creating Independence through Student-owned Strategies) professional development trainings.
