Mahla's+Documentation

[|Persistence_Unit3[1.doc]] Hi Donna and Julie, Hope you are both well. Donna thanks for getting abck to me about the planning. sorry if it sounded frantic. didnt mean it to be. it wwill be an interesting reflection when we do the final interviews discussing the amount of work that goes into soemthing like this. i think the idea is that it becoems a part of every day teaching...i think its just the deatiling and recording that is taking the most time. never mind. i am readlly enjoying the project with the class. I have uploaded the most recent planner. still a bit more to go on. we are up to the stage of GOING FURTHER on the planner. . reflecting on the planner it is a lot of work we have covered! i am working on the other parts of the documentation (the table of evidence Julie gave me) and also working on transferring all the different folders and files across to this wiki page. would you need hte project finished at the beginning of week 7 or at the end? just thinking about how much time we have left. thanks XXMahla

Hi Mahla. I'm just back from a week away so this is the first chance I've had to reply to you. Regarding finishing time -the end of week 7 is fine - take as long as you need.The documentation doesn't need to be finished by week 7- that can be done later if you like (as long as you trust your memory!) It's the teaching & filming that is the most urgent. I know what you're saying about the project being time-consuming. Trialling new things is time consuming enough, without having to lay it all out for others and document every step of the process. All our research schools say the same thing. I wish I could help in some way...is there any way you can think of that would make things easier for you? I'm looking forward to coming in again. Is Friday morning suitable for you? Any time that suits...... What will you be up to by then? Donna

ference between persistence and effort which will hopefully clear up some of that confusion. The boy who said confidence was actually one of the cluey ones so he think he just got a bit confused. Probably ready for you to pop in again and take some more footage soon DOnna as we are progressing into the next stage. I will be organising the students to complete a few more text analysis sessions this week then next week we will be beginning our art work of the characters to put onto photo story. (students are selecting a character from one of the stories to discuss the theme) we will be using these characters as a vehicle for ' ithink' statements. media type="file" key="horton statements.wav"media type="file" key="i think statements.wav" The sound is pretty good Mahla! Interesting that some believe he is showing confidence and others persistence - have you discussed the difference between these concepts at all? Hi Mahla. The unit is looking good. Great to have so many stories for stimulus. I have uploaded some thoughts/questions/things to think about on this version no.2. Let me know what you think? Donna I will keep all notes and planning ideas according headings for folders.
