Notes from 4/27 Book Club Meeting


Discussion Notes

  • ·      Chapter 3 concentrates on transferring knowledge after reading social studies texts
  • ·      Connection- The process in this chapter is similar to literacy in social studies
  • ·      Connection Historical thinking “thinking like a historian”
  • ·      Students can retain historical information
  • ·      Story Mapping and anything that would trigger historical thinking
  • ·      “As curriculum, instruction, and assessment planners in our classrooms and our districts, we ultimately choose how we create a bridge between students’ background, attitude and experiences and the content knowledge and perspectives we want them to gain.”
  • ·      “As reflective practitioners, we are constantly assessing the efficacy of our work with our student in five areas: time, choice, resources, support, and connections. We examine the needs of our students, the successes and failures of our plans and the way we ask students to demonstrate their learning”
  • ·      No such thing as a perfect lesson- there’s such thing as good lessons
  • ·      Since were always revising our work do you think that we’ll get the results that we were shooting for
