I love the world splash table on page 77. A word splash encourages students to predict what the text may be about by studying the words and phrases from the text. There are websites which can be used to create these. A website which could be used is wordclouds.com. This is used to assess prior knowledge on a subject. Students can also upload essays to a site in order to see what word was used the most. This can be used in all subjects and grade levels. It can be student led or teacher led. I will use this when starting a new topic to see what students may know about it. I could also use this to review topics. I love that this is visual and auditory. This can help reach a variety of learners.
