Lots of ideas I haven't thought about in regards to possible outcome "tasks" - p 55 Bridgit ]]> 2018-08-01 16:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687068 https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687172 Students can exercise choice and still feel as though they have enough structure to avoid getting lost...maybe this is where to start - with student as participant? But what to do with those students for whom the choices are not necessarily a good fit?
-Stacey]]> 2018-08-01 16:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687172 I remember other schools talking about having problems with "authenticity". What teachers think is authentic may not feel that way to students. pg. 61 Bridgit https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687639 2018-08-01 17:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687639 "...break down the walls that separate 'school work' and 'real work,' making the assignment more relevant." YES! https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687718 -Stacey]]> 2018-08-01 17:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687718 I disagree that tasks should feel "gimmicky." If they do, then the task should be changed. Authenticity is so important to student buy-in! https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687926 -Stacey]]> 2018-08-01 17:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271687926 For MS students, I LOVE comedy routines and finding the humor - especially in appropriate fashions! https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271688084 -Stacey]]> 2018-08-01 17:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271688084 Page 58 mention a teacher who notes that when students focus on audience it changes how they write (ex: scientific rescue vs. for a parent)- I like the idea of turning this into a writing assignment in some way for perspective unit? https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271688137 Page 58 -G]]> 2018-08-01 17:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271688137 https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271688288 Craig Gastauer is my hero!

We want to offer choices, but how many? Does that mean we have to tailor for every kid? To me, this aspect of it is overwhelming. https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271688578 pg. 52

How is this facilitated in the classroom? At the beginning of every unit? Does that keep each class at completely different points? What if classes can't agree on a direction? https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271689833 2018-08-01 17:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271689833 https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271689914 kids probably aren't used to being given choices and flexibility and being encouraged to explore their own interests --
they probably have NO idea how to navigate the choice making, the evaluating --
that will need a lot of exploration (53)

That was something I disliked about school as a kid myself. Math in particular in my case. When am I ever going to use Pythagorean theorem again? Maybe if there was some real world context for me to relate to I might have paid more attention... https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271690827 PS I never used PT after school.

I don't think that this is necessarily a bad thing! These kids will be put in real world situations that cause anxiety for the rest of their lives. So, I don't see the anxiety that this classroom format creates as a negative, but a positive in that it further preps them for the real world. -AJ https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271692978 2018-08-01 17:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271692978 Music in the Classroom https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271693220 I thought that you all might like this resource as it is centered around middle school and ELA]]> 2018-08-01 18:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271693220 authentic audience = tone, style = context https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271693260 2018-08-01 18:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hayes52/qio7vb69djro/wish/271693260
