Presentation 6

Choice boards give students the opportunity to have a say in their learning. Instead of being given a standard worksheet, students can choose from different activities that cater to their learning style. This makes learning more engaging and enjoyable for students. For example, in a math class, students can choose to use blocks, a whiteboard, or a worksheet to practice addition. In an ELA lesson, students can choose to play a game or create artwork related to the topic. Choice boards can be used in any subject and help to accommodate different learning styles. Responsibility and engagement with a choice board. Teachers typically teach a lesson. They hand out the same worksheet to all their students to complete. Well how about if we gave the students a few options of what they wanted to do for the lesson or when they complete their work we could give them a choice of activities to do while others finish their assignment. I have a ten-year-old son and I know that he always appreciates whenever I give him choices instead of telling him what to do and I know that students feel the same way and choice boards make students feel like they aren't doing work because it's something they chose so they actually want to participate. Kids learn differently and giving options for assignments helps cater to different learning styles. Some students learn better hands-on, some are completely fine learning by the repetition of writing on worksheets. They can be used for any subject or lesson. For example, a first grade class in math if they're working on addition the child can choose to get blocks from the center and group them together to create addition problems or they can get a whiteboard and a marker out and then write out addition problems and solve them on their own or you know some kids are they enjoy having a worksheet and going through and solving the problems and just writing them out. For an ELA lesson on long a sounds the student can choose to do an off-spot game where they're writing down objects in the room that they see that have the long a sound or they can draw pictures of things that have a long a sound using art supplies.
