Additional Strategies to Boost Metacognition: Writing

 

“Quick Writes”

  • Quick writing is short, focused writing in response to a specific prompt.
  • Often used to bridge old learning to new.
  • Good tool for reflecting.

Example: 3-2-1

  • 3 new strategies you have learned this week
  • 2 old strategies you used this week
  • 1 combination of an old and new strategy you used this week
