Attendance- Kevin, Danny, Stephen, Melissa, Mario, Brad, Rob
Overview
- Started of by trying to solidify "If then" statement. Agree that we need the diagnostic result to help us refine where we need to go.
- Reviewed pictures selected by each member of the group to be used for 'Explaining the Image' lesson.
- Went with picture of person digging rubble after a disaster. Decided to use this because it would really separate the different between observations and inferences
- Kevin and Melissa decided to co-teach the lesson the Kevin's class.
- Kevin introduced the lesson and the image. Students engaged in quick dialogue about what was going on in the image. He then introduced the 5Ws and discuss where they are commonly used. Melissa modeled how to do one of the five Ws (who) with the class and worked to clarify the difference between observations and inferences. Kevin pulled out Success Criteria out of students and posted at the front of the class. Class given time to complete the other categories and come up with a summary explanation.
- Since they were still completing this assignment. Group met to debrief the lesson and discuss their observations and work worked/did not work.
- Continued discussion on the difference between Critical Inquiry, Critical Thinking and Critical Literacy.
- Melissa provided a handout on Critical Inquiry for group to read for homework.
Next Steps:
- After reading the article, each group member needs to come up with their own definition of what critical thinking, critical literacy and critical inquiry is.
- Kevin and Stephen will bring completed Explain the Image assignments to next session for evaluation and discussion.
