WICOR Strategy of the month
DLIQ
Do, Learn, Interesting, Questions
The DLIQ strategy is a quick way for students to reflect upon their learning. It can be used in any class as an entrance ticket, exit ticket, formative assessment, quick write, homework... you name it!
Math example (entrance ticket):
D--What did we DO in math class yesterday?
L--What did you LEARN in math class yesterday?
I--What was INTERESTING in math class yesterday?
Q--What QUESTIONS do you have from math class yesterday?
