My Language students will be using Quizlet this week to review the elements of the plot diagram for the narrative text format. I love the options for the five/six different interactive choices for practice. The spelling option is a good one for auditory, kinesthetic, and visual memory processing and output. Moreover, they can have small group or two person team competitions with the spelling and/or the definitions of terms using a timer to increase fluency and automaticity of responses. A little friendly competition without being in front of the whole class is good for them and hooks them into the a study mode without really thinking about it. If they think about studying and "having" to do so, many of them are apt to jump on their phones or facebook and push the studying off. They love the interactive and technology aspect of life in the year 2012, so allowing them to study and challenge themselves and others opens a new door and learning opportunity for so many of them. Plus, we get to monitor and smile at the fun they can have learning and studying!
