- 38. Lesson Refining Protocol: • • • 5 minutes: Teacher/team shares elements of the lesson, including: Objective in 3rd quarter they are aligned to, activities, assignments/assessments. Everyone else in group is silent. 3 minutes: Teacher/team is silent while the group discusses the lesson, including elements of feedback that would make it stronger. 2 minutes: Teacher/team responds with one idea they picked up from the discussion that they will use in their lesson.
Editor's Notes
- PDC is charged with determining what needs our district has - thinking about a possible EdWeek type sessions for staff to attend during the summer. Not solely focused on technology. As staff comes into the room in the morning have them fill it out. This is about summer PD.
- No new learning! Just building on what we’ve done before.
- I can define argument terminology. I can correctly assess argument by using the SJSD rubric. I can identify formats, other than essays, for argument. I can distinguish the differences between persuasion and argument. I can distinguish between the different types of argument. I can design a lesson to incorporate argumentation within my curriculum.
- Discuss at tables the possible repercussions. Share out. Bottom line-teachers should understand that “argument” is a life skill: incorrect cell phone bills, best carpet for the living room, politics, athletics etc. This slide is the “why.” Why are we going over common core? Why are we discussing argumentation? It is a life skill.
- Argument terminology review. Ask 2 teachers to be participants for the game. Have each come to the front of the room with his/her back to the screen. Explain that the group will be playing The $25,000 Pyramid. Show Slide 7 and have the group give synonyms, definitions, and/or examples for that word. Clues MUST be kept in context for the word. The two participants try to guess the word. Have the same two participants continue through Slide 10. Ask for 2 other participants and continue the game through Slide 13. Continue with 2 more participants and finish the slides (through Slide 16). The purpose of this activity is to review and clarify terminology.
- See handout for protocol directions, calibration record sheet, and SJSD scoring rubric
- Break Time
- You might explain this activity before the break. That way when they are up moving around they can complete the activity. Categorizing end products & alternatives to the argument essay - Ask teachers to place a dot/sticker/X/check etc. by the way(s) he/she assessed argumentation in their classes. - You should have picked up a chart on 12/12/13 when we were at TMC. If you forgot you can create your own chart. Here are the following categories. Test Poster Written essay or reflection Brochure Public Service Announcement/Advertisement Video or iMovie Presentation (Prezi, PowerPoint, Skit, Song, Group/Individual) Podcast Interview Debate/Whole Class Discussion Political Cartoon or BitStrip cartoon Concept Map/Outline Other
- Share at tables then report out to group. Half sheets on the table, title, dice Online rolling die What observations do you make? What does this make you think? What personal “AHA’S” can you take away from this? Based on this activity how might this influence the next argumentation assignment you give? What one or two end products or alternative options would work best in your classroom? Is the end product you chose for your original lesson on argumentation the best choice? Could another mode be used?
- Review from August PD
- Read information on slide.
- Opinion writing will have more emotion in it like Captain James T. Kirk from the show Star Trek.
- Argument writing takes the emotion out of it like Spock from Star Trek.
- 10 minutes: Read and Annotate each side to look for similarities and differences between
- If you take a look around the internet, you will find that there lots of ways to classify different types of arguments. Within the SJSD, we have landed on 4 distinct types of arguments based on the work of Hillocks
- Read information on slide.
- Easiest of types of Arguments. Pick a side...
- Criterion generally involve a scoring guide or a set of criteria for students to use when composing their argument. Perhaps share a video giving the scores.
- There is often a “Correct” answer. For some, fact-based arguments may be seen as a subset of Policy Arguments. This is especially true when the “Facts” become controversial. We’re splitting hairs here. Within the SJSD, our focus for fact-based arguments are typically composed during math and science classes. Fact: http://www.studyzone.org/testprep/math4/d/argument4l.cfm http://mathforum.org/articles/communicator.article.dec.2006.pdf
- Arguing parts of a book,often times classical literature. Example question: Is this character courageous? Response to reading rather than a writing process.
- card sort of the types of arguments
- As teachers complete the card sort, have this open so that teachers can reference the categories.
- What are the needs of the group?
- LUNCH!
- Work time http://goo.gl/VbxEZ3
- 2pm check-in mark Lesson Refining Protocol Teachers share in small groups. Each presenter should be attached to an individual group to facilitate discussion and reflection.
- Revisit needs
