3. Forced a student who feels overwhelmed by large numbers of students to get around and meet lots of people Motivation of winning Prompted more than a brief interaction—learned as much through nos and yeses Attaches 1 piece of info to each person; better than listening to lengthy bios People want to meet one another but need an excuse; this is a convenient excuse to do so Fosters comfort talking peer-to-peer rather than directing comments to teacher or trying to prove bona fides Good to have to write other person’s name Different cards require greater attention to people’s backgrounds Drawback: only calls for yes/no answers. Suggestion: Open-ended answers that foster open-ended conversations Think about room set-up: this set-up hindered flow People who know one another can stick to one another Lost sense of overall community: what we’re all doing, why we’re here, our common vision Question: should all squares have focused on professional background, or was prof/personal mix good Competitive game: focus on getting bingo over getting to know people Meta-pedagogical Analysis: Human Bingo Use in own classroom: Icebreaker May need to provide incentive to hs students? Developmental concerns: attention span, structure Could use to review/preview knowledge Need to think about special needs, ELLs, etc.; maybe wait until you know the kids

4. Framing Questions for this week: • What are “history” and “social studies,” and how did they come to be defined these ways? • What is the relationship between their characterization as scholarly disciplines and the implementation as school-based subjects of instruction both now and in the past? • How does gaining a historical perspective on these questions influence your understanding of what you are or will be teaching this year?

5. Journal: Please answer one of the first two FQs by drawing upon the assigned texts (Loewen, Ravitch, Moreau, Evans). Feel free to write bullet points, graphic organizers, abbreviated notes; you will not be asked to turn this in.
