There is a website called Postit.com/teachers. You will find some great ideas to use your post-its. Here is one that worked for me. Read and Find - Post It - Activity Description: Before the students arrive, place two post-its on each student's desk. One has a ? on it. The other has a ! on it. As they read the assigned text, they look for something they have a question about and something they learned. The question is writen on the post-it with the ? and the thing they learned is writen on the one with the ! I assigned reading on informational text, namely, rocks and minerals. During reading, I encourage my students to think of something they have a question about and something they found interested about; something they learned. Students write statements on the post its. Next, the students stick the post-its on a large graphic organizer I have prelabled with questions I have, something I learned. This activity sets a purpose for reading and helps students to focus on the text. How it Works Step 1: Create a class sized graphic organizer that relates to the text you have chosen. Step 2: Pick two light colored post-its. On one color, print a ? in a corner. On the other color, print a ! in a corner. Place one of each color on each student's desk. Step 3: Tell the students to read the assignment and find one thing they have a question about and write it on the post-it with the ? They should also find something they learned and write it on the post-it with the ! Step 4: Have the students put their post-its on the graphic organizer. Step 5: Use the results as a way to guage the students' understanding of the text. Later, ask students to read on to find the answers to the questions. (Credits to postit.com/teachers....thanks!)
