Pop+Ed+POP+QUIZ

==**Excellent work Pandas!! I'm super proud of how well that worked and very glad we managed to be so efficient!! Excellent teamwork! Good on all of us :)** ==

**See you next week!!**
Liz (9/19): I'll be there by 4:30 - running late. See you guys soon.

Josh (9/19): Tara, that is a very good idea. That way, we will have handouts that we all can agree on.

Katie (9/19): How about whoever types up the questions prints each question twice? That way each table can be a team and we can get more than one answer per question. P.S. Thanks for typing up the questions!

Tara (9/19)- Josh I did the same thing. No worries. Everybody is meeting around 4 ish. I was going to type up the questions too but I figured we can prob just do that after we meet and head up to the computer lab. Its really not a big deal at all from what he said, it is weird though that this is graded

Josh (9/19) I'm so sorry, guys. I've been keeping an eye on the discussion section of the Wiki because when I go to this page by default, there's nothing on it. Only today did I decide to click the link on the side and see that I missed out on a good bit of the planning and feel terrible about it. I'll type up the questions if I have the right ones. There are four discussion questions on the lesson plan, and although I know we have more than 4 groups, we can always put some groups together. Again, I'm terribly sorry if I haven't been there for you guys, I can meet at 4:00 or 4:30 if you guys wanna make a 'practice run' through this. I don't think Dr. Scott is expecting a lot (since he equated it to show and tell), so we shouldn't stress ourselves out too much.

Tara (9/19): Do you guys mean, the discussion questions under secondary social studies?

Katie (9/19): Sorry guys, I messed up. I can have to leave our group meeting at 4:30 to join my other group in our preparation time. Sorry.

Katie (9/18): Emily said that she has an apple, knife, and paper towel that she's bringing to class, so no Liz, you do not have to bring them. Would someone be willing to type up our questions and print them out so that we can give a piece of paper with the question on it to each table? I will be at the meeting at 4:30 p.m. I'm in the group presenting chapter 3 of Marzano, and we're supposed to meet at 4 p.m. I'll see you all tomorrow. Again, if someone could please type up and print out the questions, I would be really greatful!

Liz (9/18): I like the idea that Emily voiced through Katie - that allows everyone to not only have one warm up, but some higher thinking questions for their Sec Ed classrooms. I think it's supposed to be 10 minutes? Do I need to bring the apple?

Katie (9/17/11): Hey everyone! I’m going to be Emily’s voice since she does not have Internet access. Emily said that she will be in the lobby as close to 4 p.m. as possible and will have a black computer bag with the words “Milton Hershey” on it. She suggested giving each table one of the discussion questions and telling them to turn the simple question into a higher order thinking question which could be used in a high school classroom. She then said that instead of asking our classmates to share their group’s answer to the question, one person should share their group’s revised question with the class. What do the rest of you think of her idea? This is from me, how long is this presentation supposed to be? Thanks!

Dan 9/17: I agree about your ideas for doing the group discussions at their own tables. The other questions are too easy, although the ones we are going to give the groups aren't much better. Count me in for around 4:30, I have a presentation I have to be at at 330. Does anyone know as well about the online assignment for this week, "Getting To Know You", because when I tried to open it, there was nothing showing. Anything I can bring, provide? Do you want we to come up with another question or two? Let me know, and I will see you guys at 430.

Katie (9/17/11): I read through the two lesson plans for "Earth: Apple of our Eye" on the CD-ROM and I think that one way in which we can expand upon our topic is to ask the class the Discussion Questions on pages 2 and 3 (this is the lesson plan for older students). We could either 1) pose each question to the class as a whole and have individuals raise their hands to answer the question in front of the class or 2) we could asign each table a question; give them 1-2 minutes to discuss it; and then have one person from each question read their question and state their group's answer. As long as Dr. Scott is alright with it, I would prefer to do number 2.

Liz 9/14/11: This is completely ridiculous, as Pop Quiz was a topic in our last night's class - but what can you do. Everyone review "Apple of Our Eye" so we can meet before class and figure out what we're doing. How does 4 or 4:30 work for everyone next Monday? I'll bring an apple...

--Katie (9/14/11): I can definitely be there by 4:30, but I'll shoot for closer to 4 p.m. Are we all meeting in Stayer's lobby on floor 2R?

--Liz (9/15/11): I don't know what 2R is - but if that's the lobby outside of our classroom, yes. 2R is the floor where our classroom is located.

Katie (9/13/11): I asked Dr. Scott and he said that "Pop Quiz" is not a topic. He told me that he wants us to do and expand upon "Earth: Apple of Our Eye" (the one he did in class) as our topic. He wants us to expand upon it, because he already did part of the presentation. Sorry to break the bad news! Do we want to meet a little before class to discuss and/or practice how we are going to present our lesson?

Pop-Ed is the disc and packet we got in class last night. As Panda's, we signed up for the Pop Quiz. Dr. Scott said it was more of a show and tell kind of thing, so we just show everyone else how to work it (that's what I got out of it, anyway!) and then that's it.

Let's all check out of the Pop-Ed pop quiz and add thoughts/summaries to this page so that we're prepared next week!
