What I Learned This Week

What were the objectives of this lesson? How well do you think your students understood the overall purpose and relevance of the lesson? (APS 4.A–C)

1. In your own words summarise the major learning points from the whole of the study programme with particular reference to:

b. Is there a part that explains any background information that the reader needs to know in order to be able to understand the answer to the central question or argument that the composition offers? If so, where does this section begin and end?

5. The content flows logically and demonstrates an understanding of the topic (up to 10 points)

            1) One of the aspects I really enjoyed for this chapter is it is all about different ways writing can be used besides writing an essay paper in High school. I remember in high school how if I had to type a paper or write a paper how I hated it because you had to go through the process of writing and analyzing a paper and it always had to be 3 pages long. Chapter 2 is all about taking your students write more, which I thought would be a horrible idea, but have them write different things besides an essay paper.

Aspect 1: The author addressed all the questions to some degree. Question one was very explicitly addressed. However, the other questions were acknowledged and addressed to some degree, but not fully addressed. A great deal of inference was needed to find the answers; yet aspect one only addresses whether all questions were answered or not and thus full credit was provided because, technically, they were answered, if a bit indirectly.

Arguing against circumcision rang much of the same tune. Looking back on that paper I can see many of the same strengths and weaknesses, though I found that sometimes I have a hard time understanding the prompt, and will choose the riskier route instead of asking for help. I think this is because I did not know how to ask because I was at a loss for words. I could not phrase my confusion. I pushed through thought and wrote a decent paper.

The post-assessment has questions pertaining to this passage that the students will read independently. The questions will assess the students on the facts and opinions that were within the passage. I decided to have a passage for them to read along with the assessment to see their comprehension and to give them an example of where facts and opinions are used. I have decided not to implement technology because it would provide students with unneccessary distractions and I prefer to grade them in paper-form for this

Describe how you think this debate engaged with the course readings.  Do you think the debaters dealt with the substance of the readings? How could they have improved their use of the course readings while debating?  As you answer these questions, be sure to describe the central thesis of each of the course readings and how the debate topic and arguments related to those theses. Excellent answers will directly quote the course readings. (15pts)

When I first read through the sample piece, I didn’t know where to start or what was the most important to focus on. I had to read the sample piece again and take some time to differentiate the aspects of the paper. The strength that I chose was: the heading for each topic is a great way to inform the reader and organize your paper. The weakness I chose was: some of the paragraphs lacked enough detail. Both of my choices actually went hand and hand with the other teacher’s comments. They were most very similar, but my answers lacked the right evidence to why I thought what I did. The teacher’s responses always had questions embedded as well as a plan of action for the student to do. This is something that should always be implemented into

I read your paper...not bad at all!! I made a few changes, both as concerns grammatical errors and content. You can look at what I wrote and add/change as you feel appropriate. I think the paragraph concerning heuristic methodology was a little shaky, not quite sure you understand what heuristic method implies, but regardless, I think you did a very nice job.
