My Rainbowing Comments

Rainbow 1 unit posted by a colleague. Post your rainbow ideas as a comment to this blog post. To “Rainbow” a unit, review the author’s design framework to get the idea of the basics of their design, then review each octant activity (hint: view it in Guidebook page). What you want to do is suggest resources or activities that would enhance or add value to the author’s design. Perhaps you know of a book or video that would enhance one of their octants. Possibly you thought about a different concept or a different connect activity as you were reviewing the design. Post a general comment on their overall lesson plan.

Example:
The Results of Weathering by Gerard Ban (rainbowed by Gary Rouse)

I liked your class about the changes caused by weathering. There are many ways to study this concept and see how things weather, but I will limit my suggestions to the following: In looking at your connect I thought it might also be good to have some students get something really hot and watch it dry out as another type of change caused by weathering. You asked them in perform to talk about what we can do to lessen the effect of weathering, yet this is the only place this new concept is addressed. It might be good to have them see some examples of this first, such as how ditches or the planting of grass can stop soil erosion. 

 

When the learner takes over the learning---- I vividly remember learning to ride a bike and that moment when I didn't feel the security of Daddy's hand on my back.... so frightening and exciting at the same time.  I grew up in the country so no nice paved road for me-- crushed rock (gravel) was waiting to punish me if I overbalanced!

WHEN THE LEARNER TAKES OVER LEARNING

Please post one image on the blog using the "NEW POST" button at the top of the page-because you are posting an image. We would like you to find an image showing "When the learner takes over the Learning." We will use these images in our Quadrant 2 Right (Image or Bridge step). Remember this step represents the outcomes imaged and one outcome of 4MAT instruction is that the learner will reach a place on the cycle when they do take over the learning.
