Check list: What should be on your blog by October 4 (today)


Hello everyone! I will be sending out marks and comments on your blog posts very soon, and wanted to clarify what needs to be posted on your blog to date.

In case you are missing any posts, please catch them up by October 19th at the latest! After that, we will 'close the book' on the September and October blog posts, and carry on with the new work once you return from your practicum.

If any of your blog posts gets a mark of 1 or 1.5, that means that there is something you have left out, not addressed, or not dealt with in sufficient depth. Please add an **EDIT: ...  and revise any posts that fall into this category, also by October 19th at the latest!

Remember -- your assignments (including your blog) need to be up-to-date and done to a high standard to pass your courses, and your long practicum depends on you having passed all your courses to date.

Here's the list of blog posts that you should have completed so far for our Inquiry 1 EDUC 450 class:

  1. Sept 5 exit slip -- Frank McCourt
  2. Sept 12 entrance slip -- On becoming a reflective teacher (reading)
  3. Sept 12 exit slip -- drawing to learn (& reflections any other class activities)
  4. Sept 19 entrance slip -- garden-based learning article (reading)
  5. Sept 19 exit slip -- colours, sundial, awareness of sky and seasons
  6. Sept 26 entrance slip -- Sharon Kallis article (reading)
  7. Sept 26 exit slip -- making rope and braid with foraged plant materials 
  8. Oct 3 entrance slip -- Robin Wall Kimmerer on language (reading)
  9. (upcoming: Oct 3 exit slip -- poetry, language, cultural dichotomies)
  10. (upcoming: Oct 10 entrance slip -- the effects of marking on math and physics classes (reading))
I'm really enjoying reading your thoughts, ideas, connections and extensions to these readings and activities!
