TRANSITIONS
MANAGING TRANSITIONS
SETTLING/STARTER ACTIVITIES
Things students can do as soon as they enter class.
CRITIC IT!
A small piece of paper with this printed out is laid on the student's desk:
Project a work of art on the screen. As soon as students sit down they can start writing their critique of the work. This gets the students engaged and depending on the work of art chosen reinforces class content. As an exit ticket the students might read out something from their critique.
I created a pin board with works of art that can be projected. The works of art come from the Tate
DRAW IT!
The reverse of the critic it. A drawing prompt is displayed on the board or screen. On each student's desk is an index card and pencil (or pastel or other media). Student can just start drawing.
EXIT TICKET
As an exit ticket the students could show their work.
"Transitions are times when students move from place to place or from activity to activity." (Kaizen Teaching, 2015)
HUMOR
I created a pinterest board with many cartoons and jokes so I can pull them out to lighten the mood.
