Mrs. Irvin | 7th Grade ELA | Implementing Strategies for Create-Level Thinking
Students read two accounts of the myth of Icarus: a retelling of the myth “The Flight of Icarus” by Sally Benson and a poem “Icarus’s Flight” by Stephen Dobyns. They were then tasked with writing 3 paragraphs comparing and contrasting the two versions of the story. Before they began writing, I had them brainstorm the similarities and differences by using this Hits and Spots Strategy. I gave student groups (ranging from 3-6 students) a set of sticky notes and a sheet of “dots” (stars). The students started by writing any similarities and differences they could think of on the sticky notes. Then, they analyzed each other’s ideas and put dots on the ideas (sticky notes) they felt were most effective and most relevant. Next, they grouped the sticky notes into similarities and differences. Finally, we had a class discussion about their findings and completed a brainstorming page together.
