What I’m thinking now:
After looking at my data (before coming to tonight’s
meeting) I came up with some early findings. Despite how much I may want a
student to talk, I’m not going to change their personality. I hope they learn
what I teach them and it can help them in some way, but my quiet student is not
going to be super talkative due to my inquiry. I want to promote a safe
environment that allows students to feel comfortable enough to speak in front
of their peers. Another finding is that students frequently use a puppet’s body
language as a way to demonstrate their own emotions.
Possibly making 4 indicators of success based on what I’ve
seen so far with the puppets
- Puppet Use Learning Goal: Are they using the puppet correctly?
- Develop Craft Learning Goal: Learning how to take care of tools and use them appropriately
- Content Learning Goal: Are they able to demonstrate that they understood the information they learned about the particular community helper?
- Language Learning Goal: Are they speaking in a loud/clear voice?
Why wouldn’t dressing up as the character be enough? Because
I was looking specifically at the puppet use as a tool to get them to talk,
especially those students that are extremely shy and don’t speak.
