After watching and participating in all of the presentations, I think the strategy I am most likely to take with me is the one Andrae presented.
Andrae used a TEASe video, then asked us to do an activity related to the video but not immediately stemming from it. I liked this because it really required us to draw our own conclusions and allowed us to use our own prior knowledge. I also liked it because I enjoy watching silly videos, and some of the pictures in Andrae's video were rather silly.
TEASe videos are not only fun to make, but if you make them yourself you can customize exactly what material goes into them. I made one for another class which I likely won't end up using, but now that I know how to make them, I can make a new one later that works better for a unit.
My unit TEASe video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIwz88HmIQQ WARNING: It is painfully cringey, which is why I will not be using it.
I think in my class I could actually use this similarly to how I would use the anticipation guides, only instead of reading they would be watching this TEASe, and then they would discuss what they learned in the video. I could also potentially have them MAKE their own TEASe at the end of a unit for the next class to watch. I think this would be a fun project for them and would really help solidify their learning!

I really liked Andrae’s presentation as well. Since Andrea and I are in the same content area, his presentation was very helpful for me. His use of TEASe video can also be used for many other subjects. It is great for activating students prior knowledge.
