Learning Style Presentations 9-24-12

Today really rocked!  Each learning style group taught the class about "plot" in a way specific to their learning style.  For example, the "word" group wrote a rhyming poem and shared and the "body" group taught the class a chant and movements in order to learn.  For the very first learning style project, I am super excited with the turn out.  Not only did students have to work in groups, learn the material, teach the class, work on speaking skills but also, they did a self-assessment to reflect on their effort and contribution and came up with a plan to improve.  They "owned" their effort.  I love that! 

Brain Boost:  Afternoon      Lazy

Growth Mindsets:  students continued their learning about having a "growth mindset" by writing down today's quote in their mindset logs:  "Say I will NOT I can't!"  We have to get our mindset before we can get to any learning!

Fun:  students watched a 1 minute video demonstrating the "Growth Mindset" of the day....I will (survive)!  :)

I will survive video 

Homework:  prepare for vocabulary quiz on Friday.  The quiz will include vocabulary words from Raymond's Run and part of plot.
