The purpose of the snowball fight
strategy is to predict, summarize,
justify, and think
critically. Teachers can adapt the
strategy to their own purposes.
First, have students write the
answer to a moving content-related
question on a piece of
paper. Students then crumple their
paper into a “snowball.” Then,
students throw their “snowballs”
across the room and retrieve one
that is not their own. Students then
open the “snowball” and respond in
some way to the content of the
“snowball.” Finally, you can ask the
next question, and allow the
students to write the next answer on
the paper they have and repeat the
process.
