Class #25: Tuesday May, 1 2018

Conclusions Lesson Draft Conclusions Lesson Plan Draft Conclusions Handout Version 1 Conclusions Lesson Conclusions Lesson PowerPoint Conclusions Lesson Handout Conclusions Lesson Plan I think this lesson went well mostly because I planned well in the notes section of my PowerPoint. I made it a point to have an extra anecdotal comment or question for the students on every slide. I think my resistance to just delivering information in presentation format made me more effective at using PowerPoint. I think my most effective ways of riffing off the slides were when I asked the students to answer questions amongst themselves. Answering questions as pairs or ranking themselves on their fingers broke up the discussion and helped them get a sense of what other people were thinking in the room, which is frequently lost during a presentation of new material. I also think the very structured way I asked students to take notes kept the engages. I think the student engagement was h...

Class #27: Tuesday May 8, 2018

In this class the students were asked to read and analyze film reviews. I think this was a hard task for them, especially since it was a lot of reading. Professor Gleason scaffolded this task though by asking the students whether they thought the review was mostly positive, negative, or mixed. She also gave them a question to keep in mind guide them to annotate: What do you agree with? I think students liked this exercise. Though they struggled to focus on so much reading, they liked seeing that professional critics agreed with their ideas. I really liked the use of authentic reviews as well. I think students benefit from not only reading model pieces like this for content, but they also see other examples of structure, development, and style. I am curious to see whether students use these reviews as secondary sources in their paper. I personally feel that the credibility of Roger Ebert would add some great texture and ethos to a paper and I would use it if I was writing this ...

Class #23: Thursday April 26, 2018

Today I had a difficult time with logistics. I realized that when I get students into groups I need to have them move their chairs so it's easier to identify each group. I also discovered I need lots of extra copies if students are asked to bring a handout back to class as many of them will forget it. I had difficulties with the logistics of timing my lesson too. I did not estimate accurately how long reading would be and did not plan a clear time to wrap up the lesson. Part of why the logistics were such a mess is that I did not script out my lesson as thoroughly as I needed to. I need to think about writing out my directions as clearly as possible on my lesson plan and if possible on the students' handouts. Since giving clear directions is a weakness of mine I need to make sure that students are on task first before engaging them in deeper conversations. When I circulate the first time I need to do so with urgency and simply with the objective to make sure they are clear o...
