So I am trying a bunch of Modeling Techniques and working on adapting the techniques from Math classed called BANSHO. Basically it is a a reversal of the I, We, You practice I grew up with.
It involves the following three steps with lots of interaction and comparison.
1. Activation
a prompt to get them to be active
a preparatory exercise?
2. The problem
about?
explanation, labels, answer sentence and show work
3. Consolidation
talk about the work, focus the idea
turn and talk, come up with an explanation. This is sort of forming the cornerstone of my push into modeling when I cant actually get them to build the models in class time.
Genius Hour: (well Genius 30 min)
I introduced it last class (my classes are 2.5 hours long) and it was a big ????WTF???? and they spent more time asking questions about what isnt graded than what is graded.
The exercises have definitely increased the energy of the class. I am worried about the utilization of online resources to supplement content though. Have they been watching the vids?? Youtube analytics says NO. Assuming these are unique views then it is a whole 10% of the class.
Awesome....
