What went well - Why?
Participants were engaged in filling out the information on the unit organizer. On the second date, 11/9/18, there was a lot of discussion at tables to come up with unit questions and relationships that I thought worked better than with the first group.
What was a challenge - Why?
The challenge is my ability to ask a question to help students create questions or see relationships in the content that they haven't learned yet...i was just framing out the big ideas - they had heard of these before, but not with much context or detail, so it was difficult for them to co-create with me. The 2nd group was able to do this more easily, but I think it was b/c I gave them a chance to turn and talk more - they helped each other. I don't think I was able to facilitate this part of the UO well, especially the unit relationships.
What you will do next time?
Can I give examples of relationships (cause and effect, sequence, ranking, cycle, etc? That seems like it would help participants even know what I mean by unit relationships. I'll also ask more questions. I realized when watching the video, someone suggest cause and effect and instead of asking them to explain how they saw that, I tried to explain what I thought they were thinking.
What adjustments you made?
From the first to the second implementation, I asked more questions, gave more time for participants to turn and talk and share their ideas and refine their colleagues ideas.
