Dry erase boards are one of my favorite classroom tools for a number of reasons. I like to have my students write and display their answers on dry erase boards. It gives me a good sense of who gets it. It also tells me what exact mistakes my students are making or what they are misunderstanding. This informs my future instruction and allows me to tweak future lessons so that I am zeroing in on those weak points. In addition to the feedback I get from these types of activities, the students get immediate and specific feedback as well. They, too, can begin reconstructing their understanding immediately and ask questions. My typical Dry Erase Board Activity looks one of a few ways. 1. Vocabulary recognition - I give a word and students draw pictures that represent the meaning of the word. I can quickly see which words are causing them trouble and use them more in class. 2. Vocabulary Production - I display a picture, they write the Spanish word. I scan the room and remind about common spelling errors. 3. Grammar Application - I display sentences with a verb that needs to be conjugated. The students change the verb accordingly. I scan the room for errors and give both individual feedback and whole class reminders. Students love to see their work displayed and the double sided tape would make it so easy to hang their work for them and others to enjoy.
