Questions, Questions, Questions...

Happy Tuesday,

      You will only have the first few minutes of class to finish and print your Slip Game sheets.  Look over your work twice before you hand it in and make sure all 15 questions have a response.  When we're all set here are the discussion questions below:

What is one nugget someone found or shared that you paraphrased or wrote down that you thought was relevant?


How did you think having the chance to choose another slip helped you and your table group to be successful?


Do you think the slip game is a good way to bring our learning together in a short period of time? 


What do you think it means to "Construct Meaning"?


What do you understand now that you may not have understood before?


Can you think of another academic setting where text annotation could be a useful skill to have?


How did it feel teaching others what you thought was relevant?  Them teaching you?


HOW DO YOU THINK YOU MET THE LEARNING TARGETS DURING THE SLIP GAME ACTIVITY? 

Media in History
I can identify main ideas, analyze supporting details, and evaluate inferences within discipline specific readings
Content in History
I can apply content in order to evaluate relationships of people and ideas and draw conclusions
Communication in History
I can produce clear and coherent communication in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to task, purpose and audience.


Sincerely,
C

To take inofotmation from media and text in order to develop schema.

To combine all your learning into a basic understanding.

To construct a basic understadning of a topic.

To make your brain develop a way to use schema.

1. Research
2. Paraphrase
3. Apply

Taking in text in your own way so that you undersand it.

Meaning in your own mind. Putting it together so that it makes sense to you.

CONNECTING what you know to what you are learning. Your brain synthesizes the information.

Step by step connections to an understanding of the whole.

A construction worker building a house. Except building it from the top down instead of the bottom up.

It's like a puzzle.

A bunch of "ahas" or aha-moments. - A quote of Mrs. Akre

Mr. C said...

Finding the definitions of words you don't know.

Taking your schema and putting it all together... SYNTHESIS!

Understanding what you know and what you learned. "Reading between the lines." INFERENCING!!

Apply what know or what you learned. Fill in your gaps in knowledge. Rereading or rewatching articles and media.

Construct means to build, so you have to use your schema to start building your knowledge which leads you to go further and reserach.
