#57 Announcement WK7 (10/8/09, 10/13/09, 10/14/09 Update)

Hello WC Focks,

Here is some updates
(1) I am working on evaluating your exam. I am hoping to get the results back to you on this Thursday.
(2) Previously, I planed to work on your draft of lesson plan or research study on this Thursday. Since we were busy on the mid-term, I have forgot to give you some ideas about what I want to do. There are several thoughts in my mind. First, please try to expand your outline a little bit as a process toward a final product (i. e. a complete lesson plan or research study).
Second, for people doing a lesson plan, please try to develop ONE of your five hours lesson in detail (e.g. Rationale- why do you think that it is important to teach this topic; Methods-how are you going to teach, including activities, detailed content arrangement, pedagogy).
Third, I plan to have some of class time on Thursday to work on your draft as well.
(3) There is an example from Sheena, who showed a substantial progress from her outline to draft.


Here is the following schedule
10/13 (Tue): Mid-Term
10/15 (Thu): Draft of lesson plan or research study
10/16 (Fri): You may have your updated performance stats on your Docs
