Session 3 Blooms

Reviewing the material on Bloom's Taxonomy this week was helpful. The handouts are a good resource for daily lesson planning as well as for our projects. I enjoyed breaking into groups and jigsawing one of the lessons presented. It's always a reminder that we can do this in our own classrooms as well. At times I have students collaborate on their work. It's good practice to give them a jigsaw session to learn not only how to work on a project but how to collaborate as well, especially at the elementary level.
The Wall of Fame activity was a good one for us to practice. It's interesting to see we, as a class, came up with almost the same ideas as to what was wrong with the lesson and to what audience the lesson was aimed. I know we're all busy figuring out our own lessons for next week. I'm going to look over the lesson format and streamline it so I'm evaluating only the areas I want assessed.
I was glad we had time to collaborate with our teachers about our projects! I really appreciate the input and new ideas as to what to incorporate within them. I felt something was missing and knew when we talked that it was the mock voting piece I needed to add as a culminating event. It's also a great reminder that when I do this and any other project, students also need one-on-one teacher feedback and to build time into the lesson(s) for it. Thanks!
