Rounding Whole Numbers (Nonlinguistic Representation)
I selected this strategy for this lesson because…
- The gizmo is entertaining for students
- The hill is a visual that can remain in students’ memories for rounding help in the future even when the gizmo is not accessible.
- This strategy utilizes technology
- Technology can freeze or act up
- The proper technology (iPad or computer) is not always available for every student
- The worksheet may not be able to be sent home as homework (if not completed in class) due to technology restrictions at home
I selected this strategy for this lesson because…
- Students need to master rounding quickly, it is not a skill developed over time but a skill that is foundational and will be built upon in future math classes and this strategy promotes mastery
- Students are encouraged by their peers
- Students bound with their peers in appropriate ways during class
- Students are kept accountable to stay on track by their partner and team
- A student could coach a question to get the wrong answer
- If more than one team comes up with answers that do not match, the teacher could be needed in multiple places in the room before the team members can move on.

Character Comparison (Identifying Similarities and Differences)
I selected this strategy for this lesson because…
- It is relateable to students because they have unique characteristics to themselves, just like characters in books
- It helps students to begin to understand character development
The benefits of this strategy…
- It is easy to use with any story about 2 characters
- It can be modified to be about students
- The worksheet has limited space for large words
- Students may have difficulty re-reading the text to find more characteristics

Getting the Gist (Summarizing and Note Taking)
I selected this strategy for this lesson because…
- It helps students to weed through text to find the crucial information
- It is a good introduction to summarizing, because partners are involved and the outline has very specific steps
- Students can help each other to develop a gist
- For students who struggle with writing, they could have difficulties keeping up with what their partner is saying
- Students could feel it’s very lengthy because there are 3 steps/paragraph
I selected this strategy for this lesson because…
- It’s fun for students to “mail” something to their teacher
- It teaches to read in between the lines of a text
- It teaches students to question what they are told
- It can be built upon and adapted easily dependent upon the text and the ability level (tier I, II or III) of the students
- The teacher can see very quickly what comprehension level the student is at, based on the question they ask at first
- The teacher has a pre- and post- assessment based on the original question and the tier 2 question
- Students could feel the teacher doesn’t value their question because it is not answered (as part of this strategy, though the teacher could chose to answer the questions)
