What have we done so far? • SYMPOSIUM TOPICS • FIELD STUDIES EXPERIENCES • HISTORICAL THINKING AND OTHER UNNATURAL ACTS concepts of modeling and leading students toward a deeper understanding of reading primary and secondary sources. • MODEL LESSONS from SHEG, Historicalthinkingmatters.org and LOC • TEACHING A MODEL LESSON • EVALUATING A MODEL LESSON Tuskegee Airmen
HISTORICAL THINKING AND OTHER UNNATURAL ACTS Charting the Future of Teaching the Past • “The essays in this book begin with the basic assumption that history teaches us a way to make choices, to balance opinions, to tell stories and to become uneasy—when necessary—about the stories we tell.” (p. ix) • “When I informed the professor that I would review the literature on history learning, I met a chilly response. ‘Can’t,’ she said matter-of-factly,-’there’s no literature to review.” (xi) • See page xii for a run down of how the book is organized. • We will start our discussion of the book by reading Chapter 3 and discussing that chapter at our Sept. 7th symposium.
Feedback from model lessons • Which ones did we use? • EXAMPLES FROM MODEL LESSON EXPERIENCES • Let’s discuss the strengths and suggestions for improvement from these model lessons. • Do they require great modifications? • Do they need time recommendations? • In reflection, what would we change? • How can we measure student learning? Reaching For Your Star
How can we assess student learning using primary sources? • FORMATIVE or SUMMATIVE • Individual, one-on-one observation (formative) • “Format sheets” for guided questions/processes • Class observation and discussion (formative) • Guiding questions and written responses • Group interaction with source and questions • I-Respond “Who thinks-----” • RUBRIC • Single or Multiple sources • Incorporates the essential question • Quiz • Specific feedback to students • Allows for data collection for whole group and individuals • Test • Incorporating standards based concepts in primary sources used on the test.
