5 Minute Experts!
Students are provided 5 minutes to read and annotate an article.
- Provide them with an annotation strategy like CUSS and Discuss.
- Students will read as much of the information, annotating while they read, within 5 minutes. They will be an "expert" over all the content they were able to cover in that 5 minutes (whether or not they finished the entire article, they are expected to have an understanding over what they did read).
- At the end of five minutes, students summarize their thoughts (if necessary, you can assign a formal strategy like GIST), and share their understanding and notes with another student.
This is also excellent to incorporate with JIGSAW and Paired-reading activities.
