We will take 4 sessions to focus on the sketchbook as a research document, a home for the rituals of making and an expansive documentation of learning. You can drop in on any session this spring without feeling that you have missed anything. Each session can stand on its own.
Each sessions will include:
Each sessions will include:
- sharing sample student sketchbooks
- participating in a variety of sketchbook practices taught by peers
- reflecting on the process of student thinking and making the thinking visible
The sessions will be guided by these principles highlighted in Making Thinking Visible:
- Identifying Patterns and Making Generalizations
- Generating Possibilities and Alternatives
- Evaluating Evidence, Arguments and Actions
- Formulating Plans and Monitoring Actions
- Identifying Claims, Assumptions and Bias
- Clarifying Priorities, Conditions and What is Known
We need your help moving forward!
Our March session will be led by a few of you. We are looking for 2 volunteers to lead a sketchbook exercise that addresses one or both of these elements of learning from Making Learning Visible:
1.Evaluating Evidence, Arguments and Actions
2.Formulating Plans and Monitoring Actions
Maybe you have a really great way to encourage research or planning? Please let me know if you would like to lead. I can provide all the materials. 5-20 minutes.
We will also take time to really share some more student sketchbooks so please borrow from your students if possible!.
