1.  Identifying similarities and differences (Daily Assignment #17, #18)
2. Summarizing and note taking (Daily Assignment #46-#50, #53) 
3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition (Daily Assignment #69)
4. Homework and practice (Daily Assignment #78, #85)
5.  Nonlinguistic representations such as mental images, graphs, acting out content (Daily Assignment #18)
6.  Cooperative learning (Daily Assignment #26) 
7.  Setting objectives and providing feedback(Daily Assignment #25, #58)
8.  Generating and testing hypotheses 
9.  Activating prior knowledge via questions, cues, advance   organizers (Daily Assignment #41-#44, #53)

As you can see I have covered most of the "Top 9" in my blogs.  

Including one, some or more of the "Top 9" in daily instruction will make a difference in student learning.

Please share this blog with colleagues and friends.  Also, take a moment to check out my book on effective strategies:
