Eric Starr
Wednesday
Analyze the Learners:
- 20 7th grade students, (13 girls, 7 boys)
- 5 White, 10 Latino, and 5 African American.
- 1/3 of the class is considered visual learners, another 1/3 are hands on learners,
and finally the other 3rd are book learners.
Main Objectives:
Today I will stress to the students why critical thinking is important with their
project on Webquest. Before I stress why critical thinking is important, I will
discuss what they got out of the podcast I had them listen to overnight. They should
have also looked over the sources for their Webquest. Back to the subject of critical
thinking though, I plan on showing them a poster detailing some of the important
points of what makes a student a critical thinker. I will stress to them that
sometimes exchanging ideas between others can help turn the internal gears in your
mind. This is how I will introduce the hashtag collaboration I came up with. If a
student is having trouble with their project, they can make a tweet or status about it
in order to get some assistance via their classmates. The hashtag they will be using
is #ProjectMichelangelo. 100% of the students will know how to collaborate with
one another on the project by the end of the class.
