Many of us are familiar with and use the 3-2-1 instructional strategy. Mix it up with A-E-I-O-U! This AEIOU slide gets students to summarize big ideas, think about how they feel, decide what was interesting and be curious about the reading or media. If you’re interested in using this template, please go to File and Make a Copy.
Spice it up with the videoconferencing waterfall chat strategy. Have one group of students type in their AEI (adjective, emoticon, and interesting fact) and the other group type in their OU (Oh!’s and Umm…?’s) Remind students to wait before sending their answer so that all students can participate and not feel pressured to follow-up with the latest comment in the Zoom Chat.
