They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I never really believed that until our class activity today. Aside from the graffiti board, today's lesson included drawing a picture about meanings from the book we read. I had to think really hard, but finally created one. With just three pictures, I was able to bring to life what one page in the book was trying to say.
The second literacy strategy was "say-ask-find-write." Because this one demanded that I think deeper about what I was writing, it was more enjoyable to do. Trying to find an unfamiliar word from the reading is a good feature because it pushes the student to explore something new.
After today, we will be trying something new-fully online instruction from our professor in the M.I. I am excited as well as skeptical to try this course fully online.
Have a safe trip Dr. Rivera!
The online sessions will definitely be a new experience for me as well. Looking forward to learning with the rest of the class.
ReplyDeleteDrawing always helps me to illustrate something I cannot easily say through words, and for students who are more visual learners, I think this will be very effective.
ReplyDeleteHey living large and whose your private pilot. Whereas, this class will now be on-line, we will still be on campus for T/Th.
ReplyDeleteToday, was cool and great.
I enjoyed all the activities we did today, and I will incorporate them for my students to participate in.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the online session to start. I don't have to drive to UOG for two days.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gemma! Indeed, pictures can be very powerful. Hence, the power of images can be truly meaningful. I'm glad that you enjoyed the Sketch to Stretch activity, and I look forward to reading all of your submissions in our ED641 Moodleroom. Good luck!
