We are not having a formal class session this week because we are holding appointment times to meet with specific students about their common assignment project.



Next week please come to NU to hand in your project for the last class between 4 and 5 pm.



THANKS!!!!

Kristin & Brigette

Great work analyzing the QRI!

Please post your responses to Ch. 10-11 below.

Thank you for analyzing the QRIs. We will be sharing our findings the next time we are together.

We will NOT be posting a video for you to analyze this week. People expressed that they were stressed about their projects, so we are giving this time to just focus on that. Disregard the syllabus to do an assignment on the blog.


Please respond to Chapter 9 Learning Logs below.

We will be sharing our findings for the posted QRI Assessments in class on 3/11.

Below please post your responses to your classmates' Chapter 7 learning logs.

Thanks!

J's QRI---Due 3/11/09

Copy "Biddy Mason" from your QRI book (pgs. 351-355). Please listen to the audio of the 7th grader reading this QRI passage. Record all responses and running records. Analyze what you have heard.

Type an outline that shows the student's:
I. Strengths
II. Areas of Concern
III. Teaching points to consider- Be sure to use the text

Be prepared to discuss your findings in class.

We are impressed with your insights! Please respond to Learning Logs for Chapter 4 below.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

Please post your responses to your classmates' Chapter 5 & 6 Learning Logs below.

Thank you to everyone who replied to your classmates' blogs. We have enjoyed reading your thoughts and insights.

For those of you who have not replied, please do so ASAP. If we do not see them for Ch. 1 & 2 as well as for Ch. 3 this will affect your grade. The learning logs & responses are worth 30% of your average.

Also, feel free to jump in the comments at ANY TIME to add a rich depth to the conversation.
