February 16, 2011

We started the day by reflecting on yesterday's session in the computer lab. Will need to make sure that reflection is part of the daily process. Then we worked on Mr. Men and Little Miss books. It's just the first draft and some students are working well (Vivian and Liz, Rachael (she works well on her own) and some students are not working to their potential (Grace, Stephanie and Ruby in one group (Ruby is a disruptive influence in a group), Eric and Jonathan working individually). Sean and James are producing things, but it will need more work. Belle is doing quite well, but Iro and Joy will need some support. The problem with helping Joy is that she doesn't say anything or do anything, so I don't know how to help her. They need to finish illustrations tonight, so that they can present their first draft to the group tomorrow.

In math class, we were presenting our timelines. All the students had trouble organizing their presentations, omitting an introduction. They all had trouble with using appropriate gestures. Many had trouble adding duration (e.g. I watched TV for 1 hour) and making sentences (using "I washed my hair at 7pm" rather than, "7 washed my hair"). In terms of drawing timelines, Grace wrote hers right to left and Jonathan did not use uniform time durations.
