Deconstruction+Discussion

3/13 Summary of text conversation initiated by Lisa: Agreed to use Rebekah's wiki for the project. Lisa copied and pasted the graphic organizer onto the wiki page for the deconstruction. Rebekah is out of town until Friday. We agreed to then further discuss the project as well as choose and begin using a brainstorming tool.

3/14 FYI (helpful Info from Dr. S on DB) posted here for easy access while working on project: Once you //** have ** // arrived at a lesson/level through discussion or collaboration, rather than using a linear format on your wiki, mind mapping or flow-charting offers another way, a graphical way, to lay out, develop/grow, and focus discussing your ideas about the bulleted points on pages 2-4 of the "Graphic Organizer" which also correspond to the cells on the "Deconstruction Checklist/Rubric." .... As far as actually presenting the project, you'd need to either do a narrative following the format on page 15 of //CSTRC // or create a table to accomplish the same thing (i.e., re-purpose the checklist to include the appropriate information in column 1 and reformat the document in landscape)...and then also complete the checklist and develop the reflection. This will take some thought and discussion but should not be a grueling task. It will definitely make Assignment 4.2 much easier.

3/18 Two emails sent from Rebekah regarding three interesting lessons (sensory images, questioning, and main idea) and a link to the brainstorming tool.

3/24 Text from Lisa stating that she is interested in working on either the emerging questioning or main idea lessons. Rebekah and Lisa both agreed to deconstruct the Emerging Determining Main Ideas lesson because it pulls in both Math and Library TEKS in addition to reading.

3/28 Texts discussing progress and discussing ideas for project, including Bloom's levels and other logistics. Both partners agreed to check in if needed and to communicate about the final product on Saturday.

3/31 Texts discussing the final product and any editing that needed to take place before submitting. We also discussed the procedure for submitting the reflection with the rubric. We agreed to meet tomorrow to further discuss A3.3.
