Mix-Freeze-Group Steps: 1. Students MIX: Students stand and push in their chairs. Then they “Mix”. “We are going to play Mix-Freeze-Group. Everyone get up and start to mix throughout the classroom. Make rapid right and left turns, and about faces. Spread out around the whole room. Keep moving until I say freeze.” 2. Students FREEZE: Call “Freeze,” to have students stop mixing. 3. Students GROUP: Provide a clue so students know the size of group to form. Students rush to form groups. “How many syllables are in Spring Vacation?” Next, students rush to form groups of 4. Students who don’t form a group of 4 end up in the “Lost and Found”. 4. Give students a discussion prompt. Allow 1-2 minutes for groups to discuss. Play again! Mix-Freeze-Group Steps: 1.

(Students in the inside circle face a partner standing in the outside circle.) 3. The teacher poses a question, or has students in one circle hold vocabulary/question cards, and the students in the other circle answer the questions in a timed activity. 4. Students reverse roles. (The students on the outside circle share with their partner or answer questions.) 5. Circles rotate and the students face their new partner. 6. Repeat steps 3 and 4.

Graphic Organizers A graphic organizer is a visual representation or frame that can be used in multiple content areas to organize information. The purpose of a graphic organizer is to help students by simplifying information and by stimulating thinking skills. Common Examples: Venn Diagram, Frayer Model, Classification Chart, Fish Chart. Many different types of graphic organizers can be found online, or made available from your IRT.
