Day 3 – April 22, 2010St Roch S.S.

Here we are, God — a planet at prayer. Attune our spirits that we may hear your harmonies and bow before your creative power; that we may face our violent discords and join with your energy to make heard in every heart your hymn of peace.

Here we are, God — a militarized planet. Transform our fears that we may transform our war fields into wheat fields, arms into handshakes, missiles into messengers of peace.

Here we are, God — a polluted planet. Purify our vision that we may perceive ways to purify our beloved lands, cleanse our precious waters, de-smog our life-giving air.

Here we are, God — an exploited planet. Heal our heart, that we may respect our resources, hold priceless our people, and provide for our starving children an abundance of daily bread.

Panel Break-out groups:◦ In your working groups separate into your panel groupings

to discuss planned lesson using the following questions in your debrief:

1) Review your pre-instructional goals (lesson goals, curriculum expectations, student readiness…).

2) During instruction discuss how the lesson unfolded (student/teacher questioning, classroom management, reaching all students, instructional jazz…)

3) Post instructional considerations by examining student work:

a) What went well?b) What needs to be modified?c) What did you learn?

Summarize your discussion on chart paper and post it.

Gallery Walk:◦ Visit other groups◦ Post questions/suggestions/feedback using

stickies◦ End walk at your own chart paper

Back at your Course Working Group:◦ Review your co-debrief using the information

gathered during the gallery walk◦ Share questions/comments with the whole group

Reviewing comments/suggestions from last session’s exit tickets:

More co-planning time

More Teacher Questioning Support

Time to examine DI resources

Strategies for creating open questions:◦ Turning a question around◦ Asking for similarities and differences◦ Replacing a number, shape, measurement unit …

with a blank◦ Asking for a number sentence

Examples

Questions/Comments?

Traditional Open

Graph and solve this system of equations:0.5x + 0.6y = 54-x + y = 9

Write two equations involving x and y. Determine values for x and y that make both of them true

Solve for m:

4m – 1 = -25 2 2 2

The solution to an equation involves a fraction. What might the equation be?

Matthew has 20 ounces of a 40% salt solution. How much salt should he add to make it a 45% solution?

Matthew has 20 ounces of a 40% salt solution. He wants a solution with a greater percentage of salt. Decide on the percentage of salt you want. Tell how much salt to add.

In course working groups, co-plan another lesson or task to get used in your class in the next 2 weeks

These lessons will feature:◦ Embedded DI strategies◦ Include cooperative learning strategies◦ Scripted open questions

Written on:◦ TLX Template (11x17 handout) or◦ TIPS2.0 Template with GAINS Questioning
