-
a five minute verb crunch drill I've been using with my Latin I, II, and III students
-
using Diigo, Twitter, & Twitterfall
- ...32 more annotations...
-
payoff has been great
-
My students practically beg to do the exercise
-
understanding of verb parsing go way up
-
much of the fear has been taking out of sight-reading
-
1. Students open a passage
-
open a Tweet feed
-
-
2. Next, I assign each student five lines
-
They are responsible for highlighting each verb
-
using Diigo
-
3. Once the highlighting is complete, the students parse each verb
-
parsed verbs are Tweeted
-
hashtag
-
4. As the students are parsing
-
live Twitterfall of their hashtag
-
5. When time is up
-
check the verbs as a class
-
6. As we work, we reTweet correct verb parsings
-
If we find mistakes
-
fix them and Tweet the corrected versions
-
7. Finally, the students cut-and-paste
-
Google Docs
-
all takes about five minutes
-
integrated collaborative real-time
-
semi-daily
-
feels natural
-
each student has a copy of the original annotations in Diigo
-
copy of the completed and corrected Tweets in their notebooks
