2/4 Steger, ER, PDC

Spent the morning at Steger working with 6th grade world studies.

I helped students with the East Asia project and worked with the teacher on how to revise/improve the project.  Here's the scoring guide as it sits now:

We discussed:

• Letter to parents - too many words, scoring guide on the back, let that speak.
• Guidelines
• One thing as the checklist, calendar for you displayed in the room.  Cross off with them
• Scoring guide focused on the product and not the learning.
• Where’s the reflection?  Where’s the uncovered learning/thinking?
• Video of example of expectation and exemplar, let them score it.
• You make one.
• Phases – Earn cards to move form phase to phase
• IDEA:  Scoring guide paper with blank sections, earn the next phase scoring guide after first phase is done.
• Students read and submit journal entry on what they notice, see and questions they have.
• Checklist is AWESOME!
• Everything including research/journals spaces.
• Why not Wikipedia?  Use it to start, cross reference with others…
• While researching have word or docs open to copy/paste websites and book titles for use with bibme.org later.
