I believe I met this standard of being a Knowledge Constructor because I located information and other resources to create the bellwork activities laid out below. I evaluated the relevancy of the bellwork my students will complete and allowed my students a chance to practice grammar concepts that they have previously practiced. I also had to change my perspective from the view of a future educator to one of a student. I needed to put myself in their shoes and really consider which kind of content I would like to see in bellwork, and one of my solutions was the idea of choosing which portions to complete at the end of the week, so it all doesn't feel too overwhelming. I also allow for my students to keep track of their bellwork in a notebook they'll use weekly, and I'll leave feedback for each student to hand back to them the following week.
I would use Bellwork, and specifically on Google Slides, so students can get started with school material and focus on my content by getting them ready to learn. I would use Google Slides so it's easier to post on my learning management system.
