Here is the 2nd part of the "Reworking the Worksheet" series. Again, we look at what the goal of the worksheet was trying to accomplish and seeing how it can be reworked into a more engaging, challenging, and creative version. For this, we will look at worksheets that aim to address comprehension and summarizing concepts. #2: Goal of the Worksheet is Comprehension or SummaryDifferentiation: Instead of handing out a paper copy, make an electronic copy and let the apps help your students! There are so many amazing apps out there that can help learning who struggle with reading. Here are a couple:
Creativity: Get creative! Let your students use different mediums and apps to show comprehension. Paper worksheets only allow for written demonstration of knowledge. Let them use video, audio, and other web apps to demonstrate and show off their creative thinking.
Be Relevant: Let's get real.....summarizing a paper in 5-7 sentences isn't a relevant assignment. So why is this skill important? Everyday we go through life trying to make sense of what we see, hear, and read. Being able to identify what is important and irrelevant could not be more important in a world that is bombarded by media at every turn.
