1) Skemp.
Be ready to present your assigned chapters of Skemp,
or if you read the whole book, ideas from the remaining chapters.
2) MC1 lesson plans.
Produce complete lesson plans for each day of math camp. The first two
days are due by the end of the day on Wednesday July 12, the
remaining three by the end of the day on Thursday July 13. This is a
group assignment, but you may divide up both the detailed planning
and the actual writing as you wish, as long as everybody does
roughly the same amount of each kind of work. Lesson plans must
include for each lesson: goals, materials, assessment plans (this
means copies of any actual questionnaires you'll use, and who will
handle them, what observers will do and from where in the room). Be
sure to include evaluation of content as well as non-content goals.
It's crucial that the group checks that the prior knowledge needed
for each lesson is already present. Lesson plans can be uploaded to
dropbox, or placed in one of our mailboxes by the above times.
3) 5-min lecture segment. (for Thursday 1pm; although tell us what
goal you're working on by end of Wednesday).
Individually each
prepare a 5-minute lecture segment of a lesson plan from math camp
1, to be delivered at the start of Thursday's class and videotaped,
in room 007. (Note, this is a segment, so it need not be a complete
presentation of a topic. However, don't simply prepare a lot and
plan to stop after 5 minutes; you should choose in advance how much
to present.) Explicitly make use of techniques from the Hativa
(1983) article; this requires reading Hativa. Hand in to us a
(mini) lesson plan for this presentation, with annotations (which
can be by hand) showing use where the categories of good techniques
from Hativa you are using appear in your lesson. Use reference
numbers from Table 1 of Hativa (eg, 1.23). Also, tell us one goal
from your first video feedback essay that you are working on in this
presentation. This is due by the end of the day on Wednesday, so we
can incorporate it into the feedback sheet for your lecture.
