Whip Around Strategy
Purpose:
To review material before a test; to encourage students to notice details. Repeated use of this strategy can help students feel more comfortable speaking in class.
Directions:
- Name a topic that you have just covered, such as symbolism in "The Red Guards" from Red Scarf Girl.
- Give students one to two minutes to jot down a detail about that subject--something that you have just covered in class or was part of a homework assignment.
- Rapidly call on each student in turn.
- Students may say "I pass," but no student is allowed to give an answer that ahs already been given.
- When all students have answered, briefly clarify or summarize the information that the class has generated.
