This is a good method to help students remember what was discussed. Using sticky notes in the classroom is a great way to get students involved. It helps them think deeply, share their thoughts, and see what others students think too. It a way to have the students connect with the story in a deeper way that will help them remember it better. Ms. Griffith shows an easy way to show what they know and understand in a visual way. It also helps critical thinking.

This is really neat. I think there are a couple of advantages to this- the fact that the kids have permission to move around, as the teacher pointed out, but also this could make things go quicker and allow more kids to participate than a class discussion where sometimes one kid might talk for a long time while others fidget, etc. Everyone gets to have their say, but it's also quick and quiet. Could make a nice balance to class discussions.
