I will defitinitely be putting those in my bag of tricks to use when I start teaching in my own classroom.jtwrighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927757549217958232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-1163286277007558882006-11-11T17:04:00.000-06:002006-11-11T17:04:00.000-06:00Funny, I just did that too (sold the use of review...Funny, I just did that too (sold the use of review notecard for 5% off their grade). Only one out of 20 took me up on it...just having made it made them feel like they knew it. However, I was thinking that instead of "note" cards, where they often put on useless crap (like redoing HW probs), I wanted them to create "prompt" cards. So in the case of graphing log functions, they would prompt themselves "what does +1 do to the graph" (or some prompt about transformation does); or in the case of solving log equations, they would say "when can I apply log rules?" etc. It needs more fleshing out though, and for the time being, selling self-made note cards might be the way to go. I can't say I am up for the challenge of grading differentiated tests...I so admire your dedication!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-1163153408613076482006-11-10T04:10:00.000-06:002006-11-10T04:10:00.000-06:00I like the idea of “selling” a sheet of notes as a...I like the idea of “selling” a sheet of notes as a way of teaching students how to make their own crib sheets. I’ve often let students make a “notes pamphlet” for use on tests. Some times I require it as a way to force them to study, lately I make it extra credit. They often don’t know what to put on it or make a half-hearted attempt. I’m going to take your tip next time and sell a notes pamphlet for 5 points. If they make their own I’ll add five points.Euclidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304028127331460823noreply@blogger.com
