Anchoring activities (Tomlinson, 2001) are specified ongoing activities that students work on independently at the beginning of class, when the student finishes their assigned work to a high level of quality, or when they are stuck on part of a task and are waiting for assistance. Anchoring activities were developed to help teachers deal with ?ragged time? that occurs when students finish tasks at different times, to provide ongoing tasks that are related to the content and/or skills that students need, and to free up the teacher to work with groups of students or individuals while giving the others something meaningful to work on. |
