Summary

Students find or create an image that illustrates the main idea of a lesson, concept(s) or text and write a hashtag that summarizes their understanding. This strategy can also be used to activate prior knowledge of a topic, connect concepts to personal experiences and authentic application, or connect concepts across content areas.

Procedure

Present students with a reading, concept, text, or other prompt for response.
Have students research or create an image that captures their understanding of the main idea from the prompted materials.
Have students write a hashtag that connects their image to the prompt and summarizes their understanding.
Have students “publish” their post to the classroom page.
