experience listen discuss video interview watch read share people teach observe online write draw no comments tuesday april 19 2022 gardening metaphor seeing being the garden daffodil growing in a garden posted as la fleur du jour for 11 april 2022 on robert a young s facebook page my seminal memory is the day sometime after a few months at lac in november 2014 when i was able to see that as a tutor i needed to learn as well as teach since that revelation i began to be a part of the garden as well as being one of the gardeners i recognized that in order for each of us to reach our optimal growth tutors must be both flower and gardener tending to each by fully understanding the needs of each individual in the manner most appropriate and by increasing my knowledge of each flower and and the health of the entire garden at that moment i knew that each of us is both the garden and the gardener kathy no comments thursday april 14 2022 things clicked compare 400 digital books to these books pilled on these shelves recently i have been working with a doctor regarding adhd on a sunday a few weeks ago i had a realization that things were working i remembered the skills found in the reader s table these skills apply to more than just books i have over 400 digital books i want to read the reader s table helped me relearn how to analyze books and other media bryan note readers table wa s a 3 day opportunity we offered in august 2021 to improve reading skills our focus was on three specific highly rated reading strategies make a note summarizing and questioning each session began with a reader s sprint next a strategy was introduced and practiced in a group with a partner and then individually each session finished with a celebration no comments wednesday april 13 2022 many memories here s one i have a lot of memories from lac but i was only allowed to mention one i was testing one time at lac and i went up in my reading test from 6th grade to 9th grade i was so happy that i went outside and called some friends that i moved up in my reading test my emotions were all over the place but that was the best memory to this day i have a lot of confidence in myself and i know that if i study i can keep moving forward up the reading ladder ellen no comments wednesday december 15 2021 video stars in the making just a few of our stars ready to be a youtube star we didn t think we were quite ready but hey why not decisions the mechanics of everyday things is what got us started we wanted to know how some things worked and share it with you how do we share it we asked until this moment we didn t think about tic toc instagram or facebook no we decided learning larger skills that would translate into other platforms would be better that s why we decided on creating videos or more specifically learning how to use youtube coursework our tuesday morning group explored topics such as what makes popcorn pop how a microwave works what bluetooth is all about and how to create a video after examining these presentations we identified the parts necessary to include in our videos we then worked on developing our understanding of producing quality videos including creating storyboards writing scripts and exploring camera setups final products want to know how we did watch these five videos danny explains the intricacies of tongs see how tongs works 3 25 kathy explains how to use a nut grinder see a little nutty today 1 49 ray explains how a ballpoint pen works see how a ballpoint pen works 1 41 ellen explains how an egg slicer works see how an egg slicer works 0 40 we may not be video stars in anyone s eyes yet we know we each have a long way to go however we all have to start somewhere and for 3 of the 4 videographers above these films are their first attempts at reaching stardom please like each of them and add comments about them to this blog post thank you enjoy no comments tuesday november 9 2021 tuesday mystery motivation puzzle image from https grpopcorn com blogs news how is popcorn made a scientific look from kernel to popped corn this image represents our first thing to study what do you think this is our new set up starts this week what does this mean new schedule on tuesday mornings our new content will be the following 8 30 am how things work 10 05 am story problems using realia 11 15 am reader s sprint share planning how did we come up with this content and schedule brainstorming discussion decision making the coming together of our instructional units is a group effort i know you hear horrible things about committees and meetings however in our case group planning is extremely productive group planning allows all of us to engage in the process and be partners even if the initial idea belonged to someone else we also discuss which college career readiness ccr standards we ll focus on in each instructional unit and more importantly what our final product will be as you can see from the time schedule above we have set up three instructional units for tuesday mornings for november december 2021 why in this order the question posed was what will get you up excited to come to class in the morning this group agreed whole heartedly that how things work would do it execution execution is on me i have to take the content and figure out how to best deliver it for maximum benefit we talk about the ccr standards during our planning but i m responsible for ensuring that these skills and abilities are effectively integrated into instruction how things work this unit is about understanding the mechanics or workings of every day items or things in our lives we ll look at the operations or science behind six every day things our focus will be on growing vocabulary taking notes explaining processes developing presentation skills and giving supporting evidence each lesson will be delivered via a set of google slides these lessons will include both video and written information each lesson will end with a short quiz instructional focus what things will we focus on you ask that s still up for debate i chose the first item see the photo at the top we brainstormed several ideas then i added to them in the end i created a survey for the group to score in class this week the items with the highest numbers will the ones we include end product learners will identify how the lessons are being presented one lesson will be specific about how to make a video during the course of the two months learners will each identify one item to explore on their own we ll end the unit with each learner sharing a self made video explaining how his her item works story problems using realia realia objects materials from everyday life used as teaching aids was our first vocabulary word in this unit they asked for real story problems linked to real situations in their adult lives again we brainstormed possible realia we could use i put together a survey for them to score at our next lesson meanwhile our first lesson will focus on reading a map and figuring out distances this realia will be an extension of our previous unit on map reading skills and trip planning instructional focus we agreed to focus on identify language that helps you decide which math operations to use how to turn story problems into equations how to solve the equations and how to know if your answer is credible end product this unit will have a daily win learn about real math related items from our daily lives but no final product for display at the end of this unit reader s sprint share this unit is instructional in a different way the sprint part is about reading silently for a given period of time in a book of one s choice instructional focus the share part of this sprint focuses on practicing summarizing learners write in their notebooks about what they learned during silently reading then type the summaries into chat to share with us all we read aloud our summaries and briefly discuss them feedback depends entirely on the content of the summaries feedback may be specific about the structure of the summary feedback may be a conversation about the details of the summary or feedback may even be questions or further requests for examples supporting the summary s content the point here is to use writing to summarize then use oral language to further explore and communicate ideas end product this unit will have a daily win develop summarization skills but no final product for display at the end of this unit next what would you do to pull together instruction with an impact on life leave comments below skrow ti woh nrocpop si meti yretsym eht no comments monday september 27 2021 journaling 4 journal categories examples of 4 different journaling types processing tracking planning and sharing as you may recall our tuesday morning group started september with a two month unit on journaling prep work for lesson 2 my homework between lesson 1 and lesson 2 became clear during lesson 1 learners needed their horizons widened a brief google search quickly identified several bloggers willing to introduce me to different types of journals notice how many journaling types i discovered just from these four blog entries 10 different types of journaling 20 types of journals to keep 7 types of journals with examples 6 types of journals you should keep are there really this many types of journals if so how was i ever going to introduce them to learners without boring them to death my discoveries for the next step in my exploration i recorded the name of every type of journal presented in these blogs plus several more blogs discovery 1 with time i realized that many of the blogs were just repeating each other the list narrowed itself to 25 types how was i going to engage everyone in all 25 types in only 20 minutes discovery 2 p erhaps more importantly i discovered that these 25 journal types organized themselves into four distinct categories thank goodness four is much more manageable than 25 4 categories i ve since named the categories as processing tracking planning and experiencing keep reading and find out what i put in each category see if you agree did i miss anything let me know in the comments below processing is about committing thoughts to paper followed by thought provoking explorations these thoughts toy with and explore ideas here are some of the specific names given to this type of journal writing brain dump journal stream of consciousness journal morning pages journal prompted writing journal gratitude journal prayer bible journal idea journal therapy journal 1 line a day journal 5 minute journal tracking is about making lists of repetitive actions that are key to forward movement on our goals then checking the actions off each time we perform them here are some of the specific names given to this type of journal writing goal action steps tracker bucket list tracker diet tracker exercise or fitness tracker mood or energy level tracker water tracker planning is about productivity productivity planners are about scheduling actions and time organizing lists of tasks by due dates thus this type of journal always pairs itself with a calendar here are some of the specific names given to this type of journal writing bullet journal planner daily schedule t o do lists project planner experiencing is about combining pictures images or even video with explanatory texts that s just a sentence or two or a few key words to highlight the context and importance of this experience these journal entries may integrate sketches with handwritten text in a notebook photos with typed text in a word processing file or even postings on social media e g facebook blog instagram twitter or tiktok these journal entries tell a specific story here are some of the specific names given to this type of journal writing dream journal creative design doodling journal art journal memory journal scrapbook journal meal planner journal food journal flower of the day journal learning journal travel journal gardening journal nature journal junk journal pregnancy journal poetry journal lesson 2 i shared images and explanations for each of the four journal types described above my purpose first increase learners knowledge of what journal writing encompasses second engage learners in identifying which three of the four journal types they d want to try for themselves and lastly help learners work out the details of this unit s final outcome product their decisions the three journal types we ll be exploring over the next six weeks will be experiencing tracking and processing we ll also create a rating sheet for identifying the pros and cons of each type and proclaiming our individual choices want to see how this works out follow us guest blogger d young this article first published in adult literacy issues instruction impact no comments wednesday september 22 2021 journaling what do we know what s the cover of your journal look like this unique collage cover inspires have you ever kept a journal if so what kind i don t mean bullet journal midori hobonichi or spiral notebook i mean regardless of the paper stock and binding preferences what was your purpose for journaling what did you record pretty art work to do lists deepest thoughts our new unit why am i asking because our tuesday morning group decided this month to narrow their topic choice from practical spelling herbs spices and sugar in our bodies to journal writing that s right for the next two months they ll be devoted to journal writing where to start so what knowledge and skills should they take away from this instruction what essential questions will get learners most engaged what do they need to know about journal writing that will sustain them into the future all important questions our first questions however were what do we already know and what do we want to learn we quickly determined that our knowledge was tied pretty much to diaries in fact learners who are reading anne frank the diary of a young girl were quite certain that that s what journals were all about however when questioned learners were not interested in listing what they did all day unlike anne frank s life they assured me their lives were too dull to write about what would you do what would you include in this unit if you were teaching it what would you want to learn from this unit my next step appeared very clear at this point i had to introduce them to jo...
