Presentation+Ideas?

Hi Mel and Jim, Here's a page to setup our thinking about the presentation.

Each discuss selected article with highlighted comments addressing points from assignment sheet. (3 minutes each = 10 minutes total) Hand out sculpting clay - Directions: In pairs, fashion a way to express 2 sculptures: one representing similarities among the 3 articles and one representing differences.(10 minutes) Fill in placard with titles and brief description on 3x5 index cards and Do museum walk. (5 minutes)

25 minutes total (see if we can include additional discussion time????? of maybe 5 minutes??????)

Materials needed: outline of highlights all combined onto 1 sheet handout (18 copies) **SEE NEW PAGE TAB: "Article write-ups for handout"** sculpting clay for 9 pairs. index cards (3x5 size).

How does this sound? I'm just trying to work ahead so I can budget time for my other courses as well. I have to design a study for my qual course due Thursday! (My professor's suggesting that it should model a dissertation proposal if possible). Guess what I'll be writing this weekend??????

Have a good evening, Kathy

Sounds good Kathy...Like this...I bought the Play-Doh Case of Colors...10 colors of 2 ounce cans (not the big cans...they are mini). Also, I like your set/format for the Handout...I think we should all have similar format, right?? I will use yours. I may not get mine finished tonight (I need to work on editing, references, APA format for an article I worked on with BZ and Denise a year or so ago and just found out we're resubmitting it on Monday)...my son goes to day camp tomorrow, so I'm planning to have more time tomorrow to work without as many interruptions. ~Mel

Also, I can bring the index cards and make the copies....

(Jim here) Hi Kathy, I like it the lesson plan too. Mel, if you want me to do the copying or get index cards, I'm happy to do it. Also, I'm going to rework my bullet points. I'll have to have different headings because it was not a research piece, but I like the 30 word summary, ties and quote. I'll try to have it posted by noon tomorrow.

Hi Mel and Jim: Very cool! It seems like everything is coming together:) Thanks for getting the Play-Doh, Mel!!! Hope your article goes well and that your son enjoys daycamp... great day for it! I'll bring the index cards, and if someone has a copy code to make copies???? Or I could ask Bob do make copies if he goes in to the office next week; just let me know:) Jim, I like your bullet notes. They really emphasize your article and this will be a great way for our classmates to see the differences and similarities. Have a good weekend everyone! Yay!!!!

I have a copy code...I'll do the copies on colored paper, if that's okay. I have my part finished (I need to find one thing for one of my references), but please let me know if it doesn't make sense or if I just stinks in general. :) Kathy, I hope your writing is going well...Enjoy the weekend..Taking Leah to the beach for some girl time...if I ever finish my work. :) :)

I'm finished now! Should I just copy and paste them into a Word Document for the handout? Please take a look at mine and let me know if it's okay...I feel like I'm not very good at this...

I was just reviewing the assignment sheet Dr. Crowe gave us and for our 'experience' we need to have the class consider "the argument for practitioner-based research as well as design." Perhaps we could use the notecards for this...for the class to write their own argument for the research they sculpt or are considering using in their own study??? Just an idea... ~Mel

Mel, I think your bullet points look good! I think sculpting the clay will lead to deeper thinking about the different approaches to practitioner research. Maybe use the back sides of the notecards for their arguments for practitioner-based research and design pertinent to their own questions(?) Jim

Like that Jim...they can begin to write their arguments for their study...Kathy, what do you think??

Wonderful! I think writing their arguments for their studies would be great. Will there be enough time?Kathy
