Project: Chromatography, Mystery Unit

Moving Through Environments/Styles

In my interpretation from November 4, I noted that we discussed the different persona's of a student in comparison to how they enjoyed working in different environments (open vs. directed).  In a meeting with my Praxis advisors, we came upon an idea: is there a way to facilitate a way to teach students how to transfer into another type of learning environment?

Projects

• The subjects could either opt to write a scary halloween story or story based on the world series (their two main interests of the week).
• Previous to this observation day, the subjects had had time to prepare their topics by doing some free writing (rough drafts).
• This day, some chose to keep writing on paper, others worked on the computer and some chose to use the time to read more chapters in their respective fiction/nonfiction books about brain and behavior.
