3. Good ways to motivate and engage students to think deeply about a topic in practical and theoretical terms, from experience to metacognition]]> 2020-06-14 18:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherwenz/uwixxn79phjhi1vv/wish/626179538 Sarah Parsons https://padlet.com/christopherwenz/uwixxn79phjhi1vv/wish/627828976 Working on understanding the characteristics of various types of narratives and writing with an authentic voice.

One concrete example would be a set of texts related to monuments and the ideological and national-mythological stories they tell. The questions I want students to ask and try to answer are "who built this, when, why, for whom, with what agenda(s)," etc., and from there, I'd like them to think about how they can use what they've learned, perhaps to tell a story of their own about a monument (as with Chris's students and the Amistad uprising monument), or to propose ways to historicize monuments for specific audiences, reconfigure the space(s) they've occupied, etc. So I kind of have an idea of what I'd like to accomplish, but how to build a set of texts that will help me make this process accessible, enjoyable, and useful for different kinds of students?]]> 2020-06-17 22:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherwenz/uwixxn79phjhi1vv/wish/631282641 Writing is the area that is most relevant as I teach a testing grade where writing is assessed in Oklahoma. To do this though I attempt to use fiction and factual text that students find interesting. Sometimes there is a historical bent to the text, sometimes it is scientific, and sometimes the text is current events. I am always looking for a theme that allows me to push students to examine their own thinking and why they value what they value. https://padlet.com/christopherwenz/uwixxn79phjhi1vv/wish/632916525 2020-06-19 00:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherwenz/uwixxn79phjhi1vv/wish/632916525
