If you planned a review Jeopardy, but only 2 students come to the session, how would you adapt the activity to better fit the session?
Have the 2 students work together as a group, choose questions, work through them, and then take turns explaining their work/reasoning, before SIL shows the answer
Most SILs feel like they have so much to get through during a pre exam session.
What are some ways you can better manage your time in sessions while still feeling like the topics being reviewed weren't rushed through/skipped?
Plan effectively and realistically!
Use your session form during the session as a reference
What is your favorite way to END a pre exam session?
:)
You unexpectedly get a large number of students, and you are feeling flustered trying to get everyone's IDs scanned while also starting the session on time.
What can you do?
Text the group chat for an emergency CO if you feel like you'll need additional help!
Adapt! Get them in groups working on the icebreaker, and swipe Red ID's while they are working
In big review sessions, you are often EXTREMELY outnumbered.
With so many students, it can be hard to get their attention and focus when groups are in the middle of side conversations. What can you do to make sure you are able to remain in control of your session?
My Example : Set a timer! Timers for activities or group discussions are a great way to keep groups accountable and on task :)
