Looking for a way to engage? Try adding a cootie catcher as a tool in your box. There are so many ways they could be used. I have used this with verb conjugations, speaking, and with reading comprehension in the interpretive modes! Below is a list of ideas and an example that I used with teachers within a professional learning session. How else could you use them?
1. Use as a warm-up
2. Formative assessment to check for understanding
3. Activating prior knowledge
4. Reviewing material
5. Interpersonal speaking prompts
6. Interpretive reading comprehension questions
7. Form in using with verb conjugations
8. Vocabulary and Circumlocution

Below is an example that I used with teachers around the book, Teaching That Changes Lives by Marilee Adams. I have also used in the classroom with students and they got so excited!
Below is a power point with the downloadable template. I found this from the following site!
