15 Min: 1897 Paul Gauguin decides to kill himself. Before he went out into the woods and drank a dram of poison he spent the last month of his life painting this masterwork. Take a look at it and write down five things that you see that you don’t think that anyone else in the room will point out. Write them down. Go over them.
10 min: The point of this is two fold: One Marzano talks about how metaphorical thinking is a wonderful way of getting your students to think and apply knowledge. You can do this in many different ways. You can structure it or let it go. World War I is like an ice cream cone because… The second reason I did this was to walk around the room and see that everyone worked differently. Some worked as individuals, others talked, some color, some not, some felt comfortable some did not. This is your classroom. Sure I didn’t differentiate this assignment because the first thing we have to realize is that everyone is unique. I took notes while you were working (do the same with your students).
10 min: While they are filing this out, walk around the room and look at what they are doing. Give some suggestions. Go over some of them. Let them talk.
15 Min: At this point give them practice sheet #1: Concept or Topic and have them do it individually then pair/share. Show them a Essential/Important/Nice chart from WHII and then explain how to do it. Give them a blank one and have them work on it.
15 min: At this point they should do practice #2: Congruent or not? Have them do this individually and then pair/share with another person.
Give out the question and task design wheel
20 min: After five minutes of this, give out practice #3 and have them fill it out.
