Reflecting on the Marshmallow Challenge

It was fantastic to see the team work that went on in all the groups yesterday!  Have you checked out the photos yet? 

I need some bloggers to add captions to the photos - see me if you're keen.  :-)

REFLECTING ON OUR LEARNING

• Think about what you accomplished yesterday.
• Discuss what the challenges were.
• What worked well, what didn't work so well?
• What would you change if you could do the challenge again today?
• Is it easier working in the groups I chose or having the freedom to choose your own groups?  Why?

Post your comments / thoughts and let the discussion begin!  (Keep in mind Reader Courtesy too).

What Ed Said

This post is credited to one of my favourite - and most inspirational bloggers and teachers - Edna Sackson.

As always, I want to know what YOU think.  We'll be checking out one of her posts - 10 Ways to Create a Learning Culture.  What else do we need to do in our room to make sure that this is part of our teaching and learning environment?

Today's Learning Tasks

Hi everyone!  Hope your week's off to an awesome start.  I can't wait to read your descriptive writing!

Your tasks for today are below - complete them thoroughly :-)

TASK 1
Complete your descriptive writing and share it with a buddy using the feedback starters I gave you earlier in the term.  Make sure you proof read and edit your writing.  Once this is completed, upload your writing to your individual blogs and go on at least 2 other people's blogs and give them feedback - use the feedback examples from the sheet again.

• Does your audience have all they need to be able to understand what you are writing about?
• Have you met the LIs and SCs?

TASK 2
Reflect on your individual learning blog using the Rubric on the ABOUT page of this blog.  Which stage are you learning at on YOUR blog - are you an EXPERT yet?  What is your next learning on your own blog?  Reflect on this and identify and comment on your next learning.
