As we kick off our week there are a few things we need to finish up from last week as well as some questions to think about. Let's have a discussion or community circle to flush out some of our answers together. Think about your learning. Think about your interaction with text and media. Think about your interaction and collaboration with each other. 1. When you do a tableaux again, what will you do the same? What variations or improvements will you make the next time?
2. Why do you think tableaux can be a great way to learn? How does tableaux get us to think about text and media?
3. How does working and collaborating with others help us construct meaning of history? How does working and collaborating with others help us construct meaning of text, media, and information?
4. Has your understanding of the Great Depression expanded? Has your understanding of learning expanded? Do you feel better equipped to interact with text and media now?
Can't wait to hear some of your responses! Enjoy and have fun together!
Yours truly,
C

Please post a comment here if you get a chance. This is a great forum for sharing our thoughts with each other.
3. It helps us because we're learning what others think about history and their understanding of what happened.
4. My understanding of the Great Depression has expanded because I know now that the 1920s-1940s was hard, and not only the Great Depression occurred during that time but so did the Dust Bowl. I've learned that working and collaborating with others can be a new learning strategy. I believe I am ready to use text and media now to expand my understanding and learning of the Great Depression.
It helps us create a better picture, and understanding of what the time was back then.
I have a better understanding after reading about the great depression. There many steps in the process that make up the whole depression time period. There was the stockmarket crash, Women's suffrage, and the suffering from world war 1.
1. I would make it seem more authentic
2. It gives people a visual learning experience. By watching and Listening, people can learn a lot.
3. A happier and productive looking group, creates a better way to learn.
4. I have learned that there was a huge process that included Women's suffrage, Stock market crash, and the dust bowl.
Tableaux are a great way to learn because instead of reading and having to visualize, we can read the photo and infer what the picture means.
Why do you think tableaux can be a great way to learn? How does tableaux get us to think about text and media?
A Tableaux forces you to pick out details, like even a facial expression and decide how that sets a tone. It makes us single in on one thing, and then zoom out and look at that one event or person, in the context of the whole event to create there own tableaux.It gets us to use our background and knowledge to apply it to the event. It's not easy to always do that and this makes it fun.
2.) They really help us learn in a lot of ways. We can construct our own meaning while watching and listening. Then, as a class, we discuss what we think the intended purpose was. Putting everyone's ideas together get you to see different points of views and see why things were the way they were.
1. I would add a background.
2. It lets you act out what happened in history. It gets us thinking about text/media because it relates to the text that were reading.
3. It takes multiple personalities and minds and puts them together.
4. Indeed.
1. Next time i do a tableaux i will use more props, and pick a sort of background to set the scene.
2. Because it keeps the audience interested and generates discussion more then a simple piece of text would. Also after seeing a tableaux memories from previous text or media could come up to help your schema in discussion.
3. Working with others can bring new ideas to the table rather then just pondering by yourself.
4. To some extent, i already had some knowledge on the great depression but this expanded my schema a lot. Not really i already felt just fine with text and media before this
A tableu is a good way to learn because it is easier to look at how people are feeling compared to text. for instance, watching a facial expression of grief of happiness helps the viewer interpret the actor's emotion. In text, you can never do this kind of thing, thus making less effective than a tableu.
I think that tableaux help people learn because it is a very visual way to learn which is my favorite way to learn! :) I also think it is a good way to learn because you don't get the whole story so you have to kind of fill in the blanks and make predictions and inferences.
1. What I'm gonna do better next time is really iron out what I'm gonna say, we had a rough draft but never a really "perfect" script. But what I will do again is bring props because it really helped.
4. Doing the tableaux actually helped my understanding a lot. Before we did these, I was thinking "How are these silly things going to help me learn?" and I really didn't think it would. But to my surprise I actually learned a lot about the Great Depression.
