Capturing the essence of why settlements were created is the cornerstone of American history since each settlement had its own unique identity. Additionally, this thinking routine allows students to understand the freedom the first Americans had in defining their priorities, whether it was religious freedom or commerce or agriculture.

Like Leslie, my instinct is the 1st graders don't have enough schema to create them, and finding the big idea is so hard - it takes a LOT of guidance. That being said, you have just inspired me to take your suggestion to Leslie to begin now to hang them up around the classroom and inspire wonder and questioning. I'm thinking this will be a great routine to try at the end of our Ants Inquiry Circle, which should be finalized in the next two weeks. I love your idea of taking the name of the settlement out of the headline; I will follow suit and not allow them to use the word "ants". I am really enjoying seeing how everyone is tweaking these routines to fit grade levels; I think that's what made them so daunting at first. This blog has been a great way to capture these innovations and teachers' creative flexibility!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458257678070150417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435602697257165304.post-87259230185244250182014-03-08T07:37:25.966-08:002014-03-08T07:37:25.966-08:00I really love the way you continued using the head...I really love the way you continued using the headlines after doing the routine. I know that one of the things I am trying to get better at is returning to the work we do with the thinking routines, so that it is truly, authentically a routine and not an activity. I think your use of the headlines here was a very good example of how the routine can really be imbedded in the lesson and be used over time to continue pushing and probing the students thinking. I imagine if was very satisfying for them to experience that sense of understanding and I imagine that it will make your continued study of the colonies much deeper.

First, I would find interesting headlines and share a few each and everyday. No discussion just sharing and I would probably hang them up as a visual. If I noticed that students took time to notice them or wanted to talk about them in anyway I would then encourage discussion. Once they were comfortable with headlines, I would have a few new ones and be sure to discuss what images the words created. If I felt we were having good discussions about Headline and that it because a routine for them, I would then help a small groups of students with making their own Headline about themselves. Maybe if that worked I would branch off into working with the whole group to gather ideas that could be used to make a headline about their classroom. It could be fun to see how they could capture their day at school. phyllis johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835605686361559478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435602697257165304.post-83162642470621818842014-02-20T19:50:21.405-08:002014-02-20T19:50:21.405-08:00I also would love to follow your thinking as you i...I also would love to follow your thinking as you implement this routine and continue to refine your approach. You really squeezed everything you could have out of this routine. By removing the names of the settlements, you really got down to their thinking and went so much deeper. How about doing it again when you teach the New England colonies?Jeff Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564433564117231418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435602697257165304.post-71993249242322943442014-02-17T20:27:43.666-08:002014-02-17T20:27:43.666-08:00Phylis,

I get the sense you were very intentional in how to use the routine especially considering you added your own twist to promote deeper level thinking. I thought your way of giving the students a task of assigning a secretary to report their headlines and take information back to their peers was a great way to promote deeper level understanding through discussion, perspective and collaboration. It just shows how we need to think of these routines as guidelines instead of rigid tools. I have often learned myself that tweaking them to meeet the needs of our particular students or work within our focus of ubd makes them more effective and meaningful. Thank you for sharing this. While this is not a routine I believe appropriate as it stands for my little guys, maybe with a few tweaks I can use it. I also like how you are starting to see how you can use it more routinely to assess your students or as quick checks for understanding. I also appreciate how you plan to use it as a connection for your units of study. How will you use it around the first 13 colonies? I hope you share any new learning or the connections the students make. Thanks!LeslieHaltinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933517810936586988noreply@blogger.com
