REFLECTION

ADVANCED READING LDC Module 1 Pilot

//Reflect daily on your instruction and the students' learning. Schedule a meeting with your reading coach once a week to discuss the implementation of the module. Reflections sheets will be turned in to Kitty Robinson upon completion of the module.//

*Life in a Connected Culture video *Quick-write: benefits & disadvantages of living in a digital culture *Unpacking the Task Handout *Powerpoint slides-argument, opinions, claim evidence (word wall) *Key indicator words *Argument analysis *Start problem-solution handout *Word combining discussion or paragraph (argument, opinion, claim, reasons, evidence etc) || Overwhelming-so many materials for the first day. The portable word wall, though, seems to belong here when unpacking the task.Have to be thorough in making decisions about how to pass out the materials since there are a lot of them. Students needed some prep work before watching the video so they could do the Quickwrite (more specific notes are listed inside the lesson plan (marked in yellow). Powerpoint was pptx--compatibility issues.Argument analysis seems to come too early in the progression or the follow-up to it is too far away in terms of time. || *Graphing survey data *Problem-Solution handout *Rubric Review || Survey monkey problems due to cookies--not a problem if you can get an entire lab of computers but then coming in on the same day and re-using the computers might leave you in the same boat. Also some kids=no cell phone! options for the digital survey need to include zero-I updated the digital survey (paper copy attached in wiki inside lesson plan) to account for kids with without cell phones &/or email accounts. || *Review Teaching Task briefly *Word wall-argument, claim, evidence, editorial, opposition, refute *Review Essential Question *Word Questioning graphic organizer-privacy *Articles-Social Media Digital Footprint vs Paper Trails of the Past <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">*Word Questioning graphic organizer- digital footprint/digital shadow <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">*Word Wall-digital footprint, digital shadow <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">*Exit Slip-connections between word wall vocabulary and teaching task? || Found it easier to do more by incorporating Kagan (table partners and teams).

I retrieved a transcript of the video lecture from TED. Kids had some questions about the speaker and what made him qualified to talk about this particular digital issue so I have a doc with his background info from his own website (http://www.elipariser.com/bio.html) ||

 * Primary versus secondary documents
 * ECPA article-note taking/think aloud
 * Refer back to EQ & task
 * Paraphrasing and summarizing
 * Paraphrasing practice
 * Summarizing practice
 * Word Wall-add summary & paraphrase || Tried to add more for students to do to keep them focused-it seemed like too much 'teacher talk.' Created a powerpoint to stay on track. added in a couple of Kagan activities to keep kids engaged ||
 * Lesson 8:
 * Strong versus weak evidence
 * "Facebook is Using You" article
 * Argument Map handout || Article seemed very long-so many facts in it that kids were getting off on tangents--some kids were getting very irate & wanted to know how Europeans offered more protection & privacy to their citizens. Want to work out a way where the students could create an organizer that they can see as multipurpose. Maybe some kind of team task cards to have them be more responsible for gleaning information from their reading. ||
