 Extension Discussion

Let’s brainstorm some other strategies



for allowing students to represent their

ideas through multiple modes.
 Other Possible Strategies
• Drama, News Anchor
• Presentation
• Photo Essay
• Art Collage
• Create a Game
• Timeline
• ???
Although teachers may not be
comfortable using technology it is
important to consider allowing
students to use it to communicate
their understanding as they are often
more naturally able to more fully
express themselves with digital
media.
