I am learning how to express personal thoughts and feelings about what has been read
I am learning how to sort ideas and information to express my thinking
I am learning how to demonstrate understanding of a texts by summarizing important ideas and citing supporting details
I am learning how to create multi-media texts to communicate and share my thinking
What words might we brainstorm to describe Viola's character and/or her accomplishments?
Let's Make, Tinker and Modify
What multimedia texts might we create to honour and celebrate Viola's accomplishments? How might we continue to help make a change?
1. How might we use only ONE word to describe Viola and/or her accomplishments? How might we use this one word and specific loose parts to construct a memorial to represent the difference she has made? (5x5 strategy - 5 loose parts, 5 of each)
2. How might we use the tools in Adobe Spark to create a six word memoir?
3. How might we create a book trailer about her accomplishments using an application of your choice?
Let's Document, Reflect and Share!
Think about it!
What skills and competencies are students developing while learning?
How might we document, share, reflect and connect with our learning communities in order to drive thinking forward?
How might we encourage our students to document and share?
An idea presented by my friend and colleague, @angelastockman that could be explored in order to document this year's journey.
What would happen if you documented one minute a day? What if you documented one minute of each exploration? How might this help you continue to teach with intention? What would you notice? What could you learn? What additional tools might you use to amplify and share the learning?
How might we scaffold student reflection and metacognition?
What if students imagined themselves as stars on a walk of fame? How might they document their learning journeys as they are happening? How might we collect reflections of learning in order to assemble pathways of success? What technologies might we use?
