Expectations

Last week students reflected on and shared their expectations of each other, myself, and the class.  They were very insightful and to the point--a recipe for success.  Below are the links to the comments from each class.  I'm look forward to facilitating and living up to those expectations this year and welcome your feedback as we the year continues.  These are living documents and will be revisited and updated as necessary.

HW Wednesday, 9-4

All periods

  1. If you haven't already, email me.  Instructions are in the previous post below.
  2. Create a CONCEPT MAP for MOTION:
    1. Brain Dump - write down any and all words having to do with motion that come to mind.
    2. Categorize - organize those words into groups, what obvious collections do you see.
    3. Map - Setup your basic layout, categories near the main topic, details farther out.
    4. Connections - connect separate words with lines and short phrases across categories.  These are the most important.
Not sure how to make a concept map?  run out of time in class before we went through this example (A pd)
