T.W.I.R.L.-ing

Yesterday we talked specifically about using the TWIRL components in our lessons.  Give an example of your daily use of TWIRL (Talk, Write, Investigate, Read, Learn).

Student Engagement Strategies

Student engagement strategies can be quick and simple techniques that we use to keep our students active, on task, and engaged in our lessons.  It is important not only to implement these strategies, but to use their results.  For example, if you introduce a lesson with a quickwrite, follow it up with student sharing about what they wrote.  Remember that all lessons should have the TWIRL components.
T=Talk
W=Write
I=Investigate
R=Read
L=Listen
What are some student engagement strategies that you have used in the past, and what are some students engagement strategies that you would like to use more in the future?
