Happy Tuesday!

Our afternoon was very busy as students began the collaboration process in order to plan a collective story for their immigration project.  Students came together to present their individual ideas, then negotiated on how to proceed in creating a group story.  Our emphasis was on planning so that team members had a clear vision of objectives before they began to build their animation assets (e.g. pictures). 

In addition to setting personal goals, and completing a self-reflection for their work today, students also debriefed the benefit of our process and learning.   

 What did we do this afternoon?

·      Writing and planning our SS animation project so that we’ll be ready for a plan ~ V.B.

·      Social Studies animation project and prepping – information and ideas for what we are going to do ~ C.M.

What did we learn during the activity?

·      Put together a loose plan ~ A.He.

·      Learned how to work together a little bit better ~ A.Ha.

·      If you can work good with your group ~ L.G.

Why was it important?

·      If we didn’t do it, we wouldn’t know what to do for our animation ~ D.M.

·      Because last time, we didn’t have a plan, and we were stressed. Now, we’ll have a plan ~ E.d.  

·      It’s better for us for next time because we are more prepared ~ J.PP.

·      If something unexpected happens, then we would be much more ready because we have that bit of knowledge ~ V.B.

·      So we don’t argue.
