Throughout my career in the classroom, I have found it highly effective to provide students with opportunities to predict content and information. Sorting activities provide students with a certain amount of rigor and relevance to create engaging learning environments.Want to provide students with an easy, yet highly engaging activity? Why not write down characteristics on post-it notes and have students use the Post-It Plus iOS App to scan, sort, and edit content.
This is a great way for students to recognize patterns, make connections with content, analyze background knowledge, and build upon new knowledge.
