Descripción

En esta breve y divertida actividad de clausura, los alumnos reflexionan colectivamente sobre la sesión creando titulares.

Direcciones

• In your own words, declare the session as newsworthy and needing a headline. For example: “Today’s class was so eventful, someone could write a news story about it. If that happened, what would the headline be?” 
• If needed, define what a headline is and share a visual example. 
• Invite students to take a minute and think of one or two words that would describe the day. It could be an activity, a material, a feeling—whatever word that comes to mind is fine. When students have a word, ask them to let you know by giving a signal. 
• Invite students to share their words and record them on a chart or whiteboard. Depending on group size you can popcorn, call on students, or, if virtual, have them enter their words into the chat. A word bank of 10 or more words works best.
• Ask students to make a headline from the word list. This step can be done individually, in small groups, or collaboratively as a class.
• You can provide a sample headline. If you are concerned that students may defer to your sample as the “right” one, use an alternate word bank such as: Creative, Blue, Scissors, Fun, Art, Hard, Sticky, Hungry, Octagon, Cutting, Awesome. For example, “Cutting Blue Octagons Is Hard Creative Fun” or “Sticky Blue Octagons Were Awesomely Hungry.”
• Share the headlines. If there is time, this activity can be extended by inviting students to share which one they liked best.

• Responses can be communicated verbally, written, signed, or with an augmentative communication device.
• Consider providing an illustration of or an actual newspaper that can accompany the definition of a headline.
• The word bank words can be written on individual cards so they can be chosen and physically arranged. 

Possible Roles for Classroom Professionals

• Assist in communicating responses with students utilizing adaptive supports.

Ajustes para la instrucción a distancia
