Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
PROMPT: This week’s Digital Journal Response has two parts.
Part 1:
Drawing from your readings on visualization and summary, I would like you annotate and re-present your understanding of Emdin’s (2013) TED Talk. For example, you may annotate his talk using the Cornell Method and then choose to re-present your understanding of his talk through a collage, a word cloud, a PowerPoint Slide/Presentation, or any other mode you desire. Be purposeful in this approach and think of how you may be able to engage your own students in something similar within your own classroom. Please, be sure to include a brief reflection discussing your experience and how/why you may apply this in your own classroom.
Part 2:
Using one of the “To Prove” activities from Harper (2010), I would like you to create a mini lesson around a topic related to your discipline. For example, you may want to do a “Throw Down” activity around chemical bonding if you are/plan to teach Chemistry, or you may want to select a theme or character(s) to explore around your favorite text, if you plan to teach ELA, creating a playlist related to your understanding of the theme/character(s). I would like you to capture why you chose to do this activity, what your goal is for the activity, the steps in the process, your rationale behind the choices that you made throughout, and what you learned. I expect you to create artifacts that go with this, so if you’re making a playlist activity, you better include the playlist with links (Providing YouTube links is always a smart choice). Also, note any modifications that you may make to the activity to suit the vast array of students that you intend to teach. Lastly, if you see any opportunities for crossover, please note these as well.
For the notes just one page. The PowerPoint 8 slides.
Then the mini-lesson 6 slides
Thats the ted talk
