Below are links to sample classroom activities that are archived on this site or available elsewhere on the web. The most important site to know about is Things that Work and Classroom Practices, which is part of the Teacher Resources for 101. If you have not seen that, please visit it. Below are some more activities from people in our group or from other teachers, some of which I have distributed during mentoring sessions.

Activities Handout

Small Group Activities
The Word document version of our class handout, for anyone who wants to adapt it to their own purposes (while saving time typing).

Peer Review Sheets

Sample Peer Review Sheet
A generic sample peer review.

Sample Peer Review Sheet #2
A sample peer review sheet from Lara Tupper.

Grading
Sometimes students benefit from grading each other by the 101 criteria.

Peer Grade Sheet
An exercise sheet from Heather Robinson that asks students to apply the grading criteria to each other's work.

Peer Review with Grading
As the semester progresses and students become more knowledgeable about the class grading criteria, you can incorporate it into peer review activities. Here is a peer review sheet with a grading grid from Heather Robinson.

Other Activities

Three Activities from Tomas
Activities on Working with Quotation, Making Connections, and Developing Paragraphs with Transitions

The Mock Trial from Tisha Bender
Sounds like a fun activity that actually points up some of the difficulties of knowing the truth. Uses Peter Ho Davies, but the format seems adaptable to a number of readings.
