These students are trying to resolve problems at a poor house that existed in the 19th century. ]]> 2016-12-01 04:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/callyis/m7lx83ocigfp/wish/141008739 callyis https://padlet.com/callyis/m7lx83ocigfp/wish/141010422 I like this article because it gives an example of discovery learning done badly and addresses the concerns of the artificiality of having the students "discover" something the teacher already knows.

One is to have students volunteer to tutor ESL students. Another is to help a group of elderly people (At the community senior citizen center maybe) write a life memoir/biography (especially help with the technology.) ]]> 2016-12-01 04:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/callyis/m7lx83ocigfp/wish/141010677 callyis https://padlet.com/callyis/m7lx83ocigfp/wish/141010875  "One day, when [a teachers] English class was struggling to make sense of Frost's poem "The Silken Tent," a teacher asked, "Imagine if Frost compared the woman to an ordinary canvas tent instead of a silk one. What would change?" Faced with the stolid image of a stiff canvas tent, students suddenly realized the fabric of connotations set in motion by the idea of silk -- its sibilant, rustling sounds; its associations with elegance, wealth, and femininity; its fluid motions. In a similar spirit, during a life-drawing class, a teacher showed his students a reproduction of Manet's "Olympia" and asked them, "How would the picture be different if the model weren't wearing that black tie around her neck?" A student laid her hand over the tie, studied the image and commented, "Without the ribbon, she doesn't look so naked. She looks like a classical model. With the ribbon, she looks undressed, bolder."
