My Friends! I am very sick -- fever, chills, headache, etc. In an effort to recover from this flu and to keep from infecting others, I am staying at home. Please still convene for mentor session. Below is an outline/agenda of what to accomplish. Please feel free to accomplish these activities in an order that makes sense to the group at large.
After class, please collect the posters people have made in main session.
Bring the posters to the mentored inquiry room and borrow some tape so that you can hang them on the walls.
Then, in teams of three (possibly your teams for the Collapse presentation), consider the posters.
Activity 1
Analysis: Pick 2 to 4 posters on which to focus your analysis. Study the main points on analyze the posters. Are there points that are missing? Are there points that could be further broken down? What patterns do you notice?
Synthesis: After analyzing the main points, talk with your teammates about possible ways in which the ideas from one poster may be connected to ideas from another poster/s. As a team, you should generate at least 5 possible connections.
Presentation: After deciding on 3 possible connections, work together to write a description of the connections you found and why you think they are valid and important. Post this writing to the WebCt Discussion Board. Give the post a good title. Make sure everyone’s name from the team is included in the post, so other people know who collaborated on the ideas.
Activity 2
Peer Review. Print a peer review sheet out from the Daily Record. Complete the sheet for the paper given to you by Professor Sheard. Bring this paper and your review to class on Wednesday.
Activity 3
Take attendance. Have everyone sign in on a piece of paper, then one person can be responsible for bringing this sheet to class on Wednesday.
