that you can apply to all the images in this slideshow. • You are to develop two themes total.• You will apply only one of your two themes to each
slide.• Partner-up with your neighbor. • Write down a theme for each image. • You are timed @ 5 seconds per slide.
Revision
• One more round, starting from the top… • Determine if your two themes work.• If not, revise them!
Reflection• Did you revise your themes?
– How many groups report “yes?”– How many groups report “no?”– What does this mean?
• “The more you look, the more you see”• How does this activity relate to primary sources that you might use
in the classroom?– Are primary source subject-specific?
• How might this relate to an oral history project that you might plan for class?– Can interview questions and/or a post-interview analysis yield
subject-specific information?
Connection of Learning to Schooling
• “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education” -Mark Twain
• “Educational preparation based primarily on the memorization of declarative facts does little to prepare students for today’s real world environment” (Giddens & Brady, 2007).
• 21st century learning makes schooling more like the process of learning.
