Week 3

Today we begin working on the collaborative essay based on the teaching/learning experiment from last week.   The paper should cover the following:
      A description of the experience emphasizing key moments
      What was learned about the learning and teaching process
      A recommendation or two based on the experience
      Pictures

Here's the process I'd like for you to use to come up with the paper:
  1. Have one person serve as the recorder for the group.  This person will jot down the main points of the discussion within the group. 
  2. Have each person in the group share her notes.  These should first be read aloud.  Later, they should be emailed to everyone in the group. Upload the notes to the Imagination Federation site.  Name your file using the following protocol:  First Name Last Name Notes1
  3. Have two people in the group act as artists/visualizers.  The role of these individuals is to provide a visual that takes into account what the group is discussing.  This can take the form of a drawing, a cluster, a diagram of some sort, or some other visual means.
  4. Discuss the main points of each of the notes and determine what the group would want to focus on in this essay. Have one person keep the group on task in the discussion.
  5. Come up with a thesis statement and working outline. (Review thesis statements.  Complete MCL exercise together).
  6. Assign each person a section of the outline.
  7. Each person will then bring their section to class on Wednesday.
