3-2-1 reflect
3-2-1 reflect
This strategy will help students to:
-
internalise and make sense of new information
-
generalise skills and knowledge to other situations or their own lives.
Implementation
-
After watching a video trigger, viewing a website, reading a fact sheet or completing a series of classroom activities, students complete the following individually:
-
Three recalls: students state three facts they can recall from these sources
-
Two so what's: students write two things about why the material is relevant (i.e. how it relates to them/school/community)
-
One question: students write one question. For example: ‘Why is it that…?', In the future, what will…?', How does this affect…?'
-
Students join with a partner and present their 3-2-1 reflect responses. Encourage students to discuss and answer the question posed by their partner.
-
Ask for interesting ‘recalls', ‘so what's' and ‘questions' to be shared as a class to ascertain whether main concepts have been understood by students.
Example: Healthy pregnancies
Students research how to have a healthy pregnancy. They gather information relating to diet, exercise, lifestyle and relationships and make a pregnancy guide for women.
List things that could happen if the healthy pregnancy guide is not followed.
Students can reflect on their learning and research by stating:
-
Three things they can remember
-
Two things that explains why the information is relevant to them
-
One question they have about it
