Week 3 updates and reminders

Hello nice people!

Really enjoyed reading your fieldnotes this morning; thank you for jumping in. You did a great job with this first set of notes and I know they’ll just get better and better. You might check out Ceaira and Lumi’s fieldnotes if you’re wondering about other ways of keeping track or what to notice. They both had a nice level of detail in their notes that you might find helpful as a model. Also, Tabitha and Lumi already gave each other feedback on their notes and they are a nice example for how to do that. Thank you! You can’t do any of this wrong…you’re learning how to collect data and comment on data; you are doing great. Things you might consider adding to your notes: time on tasks, names of students, and perhaps some way to keep track of any writing they do (like keep the link to any google docs handy for yourself). You might keep this question in mind this week as you’re deciding what to trace: how does the session support writing?

You can find the tasks for weeks 3 & 4 under the Do The Thing page in the drop down menu.

This week:
—Read and comment on Nelson article in Perusall
—Find quotes and add those quotes plus short reflection about the Nelson reading in Currents (under your name). Hannah May already added hers and it’s exactly what I was hoping for if you want an example. Check under her name in our Currents community. Thanks Hannah May. The point of this “quote gathering” each week is so you can trace the readings over time. We’ll be writing a paper later called “what I know so far..” and I hope that keeping track of the quotes will be helpful for that assignment.
—Respond to partner’s fieldnotes. Your partner list again:

Lumi and Tabitha
Isaiah and Caleb
Matthew and Hannah S
Ceaira and Paytyn
Alaina and Hannah May

Again, I appreciate how you participated with the workshops this week. You are already great mentors for the freshmen. Thanks everyone!
