Organ systems - maybe diagramming a particular meal you ate. Or biogeochemical cycles - students could sketch their neighborhoods or communities and show carbon sources and sinks. ]]> 2019-03-14 00:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130340 1. I teach electricity and renewable energy: which is in everyone's life. Students could do a similar assignment like the one we viewed where they take pictures or bring in actual items to share. https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130415 2019-03-14 00:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130415 I want to use the self-doc with ELL students to discuss weather, and related issues of their culture/country of origin. https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130446 2019-03-14 00:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130446 I want to https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130447 2019-03-14 00:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130447 Also, I want to apply the self doc to how students use measurement, money and time as a way to discuss math topics. https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130909 2019-03-14 00:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130909 Q4 - Lots of Discussion Co-create a classroom promise that helps create a safe space for all https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130914 2019-03-14 00:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130914 3. Ideas for using Self-Doc in teaching: For a unit on energy, ask students to photograph devices/appliances that use energy in their homes. Possibly even determine which are used the most in their home? Could also ask to document trash/recycling in their homes for a unit on Pollution/recycling. https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130955 2019-03-14 00:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341130955 Plastics Lesson - #2 dmohn2 https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341131047 We are finishing the Picture Perfect lesson on one use plastics. I am going to have them take pictures of all of the 1 use plastics around their house and then come up with ways to upcycle create an extended use for those materials]]> 2019-03-14 00:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341131047 I'm considering using the self-doc as a pre-assessment for my summer workshop on sea level rise, to get a sense for what people know / what they think of when they hear the phrase. https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341131176 2019-03-14 00:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341131176 Curriculum Units jessica_bailey9 https://padlet.com/kama_almasi1/7wrwkzm7c6sq/wish/341131184 Currently teaching weather/climate and there's a focus on ocean currents/temperature, so I want to do some kind of connection with the ocean & temperature.  Ideas? 

A really exciting one will be genetics--it will really link with self-doc--such as connecting to ways you look like or don't look like your relatives.
