I'm including one example for you today. If you click on the link, you'll be able to take a look at the following plan for remediating information in biochemistry:
- Pages 1 and 2 would be xeroxed and provided to each student needing remediation on this target. On the first page is the target, relevant vocabulary, and a list of skills using the content which students can check off. I am hoping that this will help them inventory what they already know...and what they need to focus their time on. The second page is a tool for them to use to support their work in these areas.
- Page 3 contains the directions for the rotation where kids will work in a group with others who are studying the same topic that day. There is a brief Q & A period and then a short activity.
- The directions for the activity (The Question Game) are on page 4, followed by the master set of questions/answers on pp. 5 - 7. These need to be copied and then pasted onto index cards. Even though the questions and answers are next to each other on the masters, they would need to be on separate cards when prepared for students.
I have the general plan for my study skills mini-lessons drafted, but not ready to share with you quite yet. Maybe tomorrow?
I am keeping my fingers crossed that all of this will fly in a couple of weeks. It's a lot of work at the moment, but once it's done, I'll have two weeks at school to just teach and not have to worry about anything else (which is when I have a ton of things I will need to focus on for grad school).
As always, any feedback on the work to date is welcome and appreciated. I'll keep uploading documents as I finish them in case anyone else can benefit!

Amazing review idea - I think I'll adapt it for my math classes before their End of Instruction exams and AP exams.... Thanks so much for the idea! I love the Question game, it reminds me of "I have, who has", but in a much better format with the small groups, I love it!
Thanks for the cheers!
I'll be uploading more soon. It's good to be able to share things.
