The strategy that our lesson plan was based off of was Tweet toText. I was really excited to get to try out this strategy because I could 100% see it being successful in a middle school classroom. How we attacked the lesson was to give students a reading about the orders of operations and then they would solve a problem using a blank tweet. We used a blank paper tweet, but you would also have students post an actually tweet on their twitter. The cool thing about it is that they only get 280 characters, so they have to answer the question using only that.
Overall I think our lesson played out pretty well. Some grows that we received were to be more organized and explain the assignment better. I definitely think we could have done a better job with explaining the directions, however it is sometimes hard to do this with four people. I think doing an assignment like this would definitely be easier when you are the only sole teacher and you have created a level of respect with your students. I think this is such a fun strategy, and I would like to one day try and implement it in my own classroom. Having this experience was very beneficial because we got to practice doing this lesson with other future teacher. I feel like we all can learn a lot from one another.
