I wanted to add something different to the way I taught writing a companion book.
I enlisted students to help create a visual board so that they can see where they are at all times. Students created pieces that I laminated. I might not do the laminating again as it was quite tricky. They had tape on the back and moved them along depending on which section in the presentation they were at.
My Spreadsheet
I was amazed at the amount of individualized feedback I could give students by using this process. It was self paced but I always knew where students where.
Instructions where my first attempt a hyperdoc. It doesn’t really look like the other hyperdocs, but I was excited to have actually attempted it.
My students having all the instructions right away for this was perfect. It worked so well for them. Many of them commented on how it was easy it was to follow along. They liked the fact that they could work at their pace (within reason) and get more individual time with me to ask questions.
Companion Book
Student examples are located in the slides below. They are hyperlinked able to click them.
The “Game” Board
There wasn’t any competition involved it was mostly a way for them to visually see where they are and where their classmates are. Maybe a bit of peer pressure, but no prizes or anything. This is just one section of the visual.
