Hi!?
Karen, thanks for starting the conversation about our presentation. In terms of student work, I could bring in folders from my book club groups (9th grade), but I was not as go-with-the-flow as Julia-- I had some questions and issues that I encouraged students to discuss, so perhaps this wouldn't be the best representation of a student-led book group.
Maybe we should rotate through 2 or 3 groups instead of jigsaw? So every participant sits at a "station" that you outlined (Read aloud, Teacher-led, etc.) I don't think they can visit more than 3 stations, and then at the end we can open it up to how the work they did in the station related to the Lewis reading they did for class.
Does this make sense?
Yeah, I am also thinking that we can't have people move around too much. Looking back at how last week went, I'm thinking that we should allow enough time for people to really get into discussion. So maybe 2-3 stations at most. That also allows us to focus in on sections that we really want to lead discussions about and not focus in on the others ;)
ReplyDeleteAs to the blog, I just click on comments...but a few times it told me I had to sign in. I just clicked "post comment" anyway once I checked that I was in fact signed in, and then it worked.
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteSo it turns out my laptop blocks me from commenting(?) so I'm using a different computer.
YAY!
Also- as we discussed on Monday I'll bring my book club folders to class 4/20 evening.
