Fri. May 26,- Tues. May 30, 2017 Self-directed Research/Learning

On these days, I gave you a self directed learning sheet. You were instructed to locate all papers and the draft and figure out the areas that you are having trouble and then do a web search for Powerpoints and exercises that help with figuring out how to improve. I have pasted the worksheet here. Keep in mind that you will also get Monday and possibly Tuesday to work on this.

A30 Reflection Activity

1.      During our latest discussion relating to the DRAFT final prototype, what areas do you need to work on?

2.      Based on all the comments I have presented you with this year so far, what areas (ALL) are you having trouble in (yes, based on MY perceptions!)?

  

3.      You were instructed to go on-line and Google Powerpoints for each specific area of concern (e.g.: Tense Powerpoint; How to create effective titles Powerpoint’). Which areas did you search out?

4.      Did you find any Powerpoints that were informative AND entertaining for you? Write these down, tell me what they meant to teach, tell me what you liked about each one, and judge how effective (out of ten) each one was. In other words, I want to know from you what might work for another student like you when it comes to learning.

 5.      You were instructed to go on-line and Google exercises for each specific area of concern (e.g.: Tense exercises; tense children’s exercises; tense ESL exercises, etc). Which areas did you search out?

 6.      Did you find any exercise Powerpoints that were informative AND entertaining for you? Write these down, tell me what they meant to teach, tell me what you liked about each one, and judge how effective (out of ten) each one was. In other words, I want to know from you what might work for another student like you when it comes to learning.

  

7.      Based on your experiences with this activity, what have you learned academically that you were unsure of before? List everything you can think of.

  

8.      Based on your experiences doing this exercise and other personal perceptions, what do you need in order to learn in a way you will be successful? Please take this question seriously. It helps BOTH of us (I ALSO learn from your perceptions and DO change my approaches!).

  

9.      APPLICATION: Please see your instructor and kindly ask for you latest essay BACK so you can apply what you now KNOW to your paper and make it better. Submit this first version (aka rough copy) with your improved version so your instructor can assess your learning.
