Looking Back As We Move Forward: Previous Posts...

Tableaux & Metacognition...

PEER REVIEW

From tableaux to thinking, reflecting to peer review, our learning is taking many forms this week.  The feedback we received on our tableaux will give us insight into what good feedback and poor feedback look like.  We will get a clear picture of the kind of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM that helps move us forward in our work.  You all have done well taking on this new learning strategy of tableaux.  Let's try to use what we have learned during the tableaux process for what we are trying to do with ARGUMENTATION & PERSUASION.  Enjoy peer review, and try to have fun!

Yours truly,
C

Tableaux & Metacognition: Things to Think About...

Happy Monday Guys & Dolls,

      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
