What is a person’s identity made of? Where does it come from? How is it formed? Essential Questions
The moment you've all been waiting for. Drum roll please. What are we really studying this semester?
After hearing about our first project, write down at least three questions you could ask to someone who has already done it. What do you want to know about the content or the experience? Finish and finalize your Why Animas? Statement. When completed, the final draft will go on the front page of your DP. Today is a whole grade charter activity. View this link to have an overview of the morning; all four of your core classes will be combined.
Starter #7
What are important elements of a critique? What elements make up good feedback on someone else’s work? How would you most like to receive feedback? What kinds of feedback would be most helpful? Today will be Critique #1 on your Why Animas? Statement. Before critique, it is important to have a focus or a purpose behind why we are looking at another’s work. Read over your draft and think of at least one question that you would like others to consider when reading your piece. Write this below your paragraph so others can have intention behind their feedback. This should be an area that you identify as needing improvement in your paragraph. We are all on the first draft so there is plenty of space for improvement at this point. Examples: Spelling/grammar help, flow of ideas and organization, making a better opening statement, a better conclusion, or helping improve word choice. We will practice first using Drew’s example statement on the board. Have your draft on your desk and all other supplies under or on your chair. Quietly, we will walk around to each other’s drafts and give feedback based on the questions the writer has left for us. In this critique, focus on those questions only. Place your feedback on sticky notes next to the draft. After having a chance to give feedback, return to your draft to review the comments left by others. There is now time to consider the feedback, ask questions if necessary and begin working on a second draft. This second draft will be typed and should have obvious differences to the hand written version. One recommendation is to rewrite your draft on the computer without looking at the sentences of your hand written copy. This allows new ideas to flow on the page while already having some thoughts together from the first draft. (This is not a requirement) Your typed draft #2 needs to be finalized and printed before Digital Arts tomorrow (September 2). You will be doing a second critique in that class that is more general than the one we did together today. |
