Week+14

First, here are your responsibilities for your PLC for today: •	Everyone needs a copy of the Inquiry #3 Working Page[note: this link isn't working--I have emailed this document to you on 11/29/10!] (perhaps someone can agree to make enough copies for everyone?) •	Find a place to meet where you can view the videos (one laptop might work . . . the very public CITE lab may not). •	Make sure that for each person’s turn there is a 1) Time keeper and a 2) Note taker (who is not the presenter). •	Make sure everyone gets the group’s full attention (The more you think through today, the easier your Inquiry #3 poster will be to prepare for the research symposium!) •	Each person should send me email by end of the day you meet or by Friday of portfolio week with your PLC team name in the Subject line and a report about your own progress on the work page. (There is no need for the PLC to post anything to your PLC space today--just the individual emails is enough.)

Now, here’s how this will work (use the Inquiry #3 Working Page as a guide): •	What? Presenter will give a “set-up,” introducing the group to the lesson, including Background and Description, and Design. o	Watch your video, with pause points. •	So What? Presenter will discuss what happened in the lesson (Patterns) o	Group will ask clarifying questions. (Example: "So, why did you do it that way?" Or, "What did your Cooperating Teacher say about this part?") o	Group will discuss what they heard the presenter say; o	Presenter will listen as the group talks (this part feels kind of weird. You'll want to jump in and talk when the group is talking about you! But, really, just try it. So many times when you just stop and just LISTEN to others discuss your strengths and needs, it opens up your eyes!) •	Now What? Presenter will respond to group and gives specific plans for how to proceed (Conclusion)

That’s it! Make sure everyone gets a turn and PARTICIPATE!

Note: If you already have prepared your presentation for Inquiry #3—not to despair! This worksheet follows the same rubric as is on the assignment page. So, this shouldn’t be different, but should instead be a good opportunity to use the help of your PLC to expand and clarify what you’ve already prepared.
