Ali was so kind to tag us for this quick meme.

It goes like this
Rules:1. Grab the nearest book of 123 pages or more.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the first 5 sentences and write them down.
4. Then invite 5 friends to do the same.

It was a tie for the nearest book. The Bible or Integrating Differentiated Instruction and Understanding by Design by Carol Ann Tomlinson and Jay McTighe. I think I'll quote the curriculum book.

"By carefully orchestrating the makeup of the cooperative learning groups (including one high-achieving learner and one struggling learner), peer teaching became a natural part of the detective work. Other examples of effective hooks include provocative essential questions, counterintuitive phenomena, controversial issues, authentic problems and challenges, emotional encounters, and humor. One must be mindful, of course, of not coming up with interesting introductory activities that have no carry-over value. The intent is to match the hook with the content and the experiences of the learners-by design-as means of drawing them into a productive learning experience. E= How will I equip students to master identified standards and succeed with the targeted performances?"

I tag... well it seems that bloglines is having issues..so I can't get easily get the links to the blogs I read. I tag whoever wants to do this!
