- STEP 1 : Hand out a piece of writing, a math problem, or an artistic composition. It could be from another source, or it may be the child’s own work. Students will use this to review their work 4 times using the next steps.
- STEP 2 : Review for structure. Choose a color and circle any…
- Grammatical elements (punctuation, capitalization, spelling, etc).
- Computation elements (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc).
- Artistic elements (statement of artistic medium, form, meter, etc).
- STEP 3 : Review for patterns. Choose another color and highlight any…
- Repeating phrases, sentences, or structures.
- Mathematical patterns.
- Repeating colors, texture, musical phrases, movements, etc.
- STEP 4 : Review for hiccups. Choose another color and underline any…
- Sudden differences in text.
- Math processes that deviate from the norm.
- Sudden changes in design, accidentals, form, etc.
- STEP 5 : Review as a whole. Choose another color and draw a bracket around any…
- Identified or implied context.
- Mathematical explanations.
- Contextual instructions or phrasing.
