Idea Wave
All the students will write three to five ideas about an assigned topic. Someone will volunteer to begin the idea wave by sharing one of their ideas. The student sitting to the right of the volunteer then shares an idea; then the next student. Continue having the students share their ideas like a wave until several ideas have been shared.
This strategy can be used as a review before a test or quiz or as a way to see what students remember from a lesson. Using this strategy can assist students in the fact that they might be reminded of something from class that kind of slipped their mind or it might be explained by another student that makes it more understandable than the way their teacher presented the information.
Supplies needed: paper, pen/pencil

Quick Check
The teacher will ask a question. All students will write their answers on their own index card. When the teacher signals the class the students will hold up their answers so the teacher can see them. This gives the teacher the ability to see who and how many students correctly answered the question.
This strategy can be used as a review before a test or as a debriefing activity at the end of a lesson in order for the teacher to see if the students understand the concepts taught. If the teacher notices that many of the students didn't get the answer correct they can prepare for a review for the following day.
Supplies needed: index card, white board/large sheet of paper.

Muddiest Point
Students inform you of the "muddiest" or least clear point from the lesson.
At the end of a days lesson have the students write on a sticky note, index card or small piece of paper what they are still confused about regarding the lesson. Once these points are collected from the students the teacher can prepare for clarification for the next day by creating activities such as partner work, small group work or large class discussions on things that seemed to cause confusion among the students.
Supplies Needed: index card/sticky note/or scratch paper, pencil

3-2-1
At the end of a lesson have the students write 3 ideas or concepts they learned from the lesson. They then write two examples or uses of the idea that they remember from the lesson and write one unresolved question they still have about what was discussed in class.
After collecting these papers from students the teacher can go over them to help prepare a review for the next day, prepare questions, activities or be prepared to clarify any misunderstandings from the lesson.

Quick Write
The students will write for 2-3 minutes about what they heard, read, or learned during the lesson taught on a piece of paper.
This is a great way to reinforce what was discussed during a days lesson right before the bell rings as a way to reinforce the information. This tool can be reviewed by the teacher to see what the students remembered and review anything that the students discuss on their quickwrite for the following class day.
Supplies Needed: lined paper, pen/pencil
