The "Say Something" strategy uses pauses and interruptions in a student's reading of text, to give them time for thought and reflection. This post will show you how to use the audio/video features in OneNote to use this strategy. Creating Your OneNote PageFirst, choose your text and break it up into sections. Find places in the text where you want them to answer a question or reflect upon what they read. On a OneNote page, create a 2 column table and enough rows for your different sections of text. Column 1 will be your text, label the first row in the first column with the name of your text. In the 2nd column, 1st row, you will put in the questions that you wish the students to answer as they read. In the rest of the rows in Column 1, paste your sections of text. Each section in a new row. Example is below. Collaboration Space vs. Notebook SpaceThe question now, where do you want to distribute the assignment? Placing it in the collaboration space would allow all students to see/hear each other's responses. It also allows them to delete.....(you can always restore through page versions) but some teacher's or even students may not be comfortable with this. The other option is to send the assignment into each student's notebook. This would keep their answers private. So other's can respond, you could then copy and paste videos/audio that were thought provoking or well done and put them in the collaboration space or content library for all students to then view and possibly discuss later on. Directions for the AssignmentHave students begin reading the first section. Then choose a question they would like to answer. Each student will then place their cursor in the 2nd column of the first section of reading. Go to the Insert tab at the top of OneNote. They can choose to Record Audio or Record Video and respond. After, they move onto the next section of text and continue. Examples of QuestionsSomething I agree with is... Something that puzzles me is... Something I am remind of when I read.... A new idea is... Something I disagree with is... Something I wish was explained more is... Something I would like to talk more about... Something I don't understand is... Here is a question that I have... I enjoyed the part when... I predict...will happen next. This reminds me of when....happened. If you like this strategy and use it your classroom, let me know how it turns out!
