On the attempt in the video, students had discussed the content covered by the routine prior to implementation. This introduction allowed students to become more active participants in the creation of the routine. Students were able to successfully generate a list of keywords that could be used while working through the routine. Students participated well with the sorting of characteristics and with the examples. A sentence starter was used to get the students started on the definition. With students given the starter it helped them to generate some good definitions. In other classes I found the students needed the starter that is why it was given in the class videoed. I also found that the definition was too far down the page for students in larger classes to see, that is why the definition was done on another slide.
