FWA Resources from the Field Trip

Seminar Discussion

1. Arrive with your highlighted passages/quotes that you found most interesting, provocative, puzzling, etc. to discuss, as well as your brief essay (100-300 words) that provides a reflection on one or two passages or quotes selected. This preparation is your ticket to a group discussion.
2. Unprepared students will observe in fishbowl fashion, sitting in chairs outside of a group, listening to the discussion but not participating.
3. In round-robin fashion, select one of your high-priority passages or quotes, read it aloud to the group, and then briefly explain why you selected it. The other group members listen and take notes but do not respond.
4. After each of your peers has contributed, each student responds to what they heard from one or two of the other participants.
5. Next, begin a free-flowing discussion, showing what you learned or found most meaningful but connecting your comments to specific passages in the assigned piece as much as possible.
6. After the discussion, write down any further comments, reflections, or insights as a postscript to your essay.
7. Copy and paste each of your 1. selected passages, 2. essays and 3. postscripts into one document to be submitted at the end of the course.

Outdoor Exploration

Drawing Leaves

Leaves are fun to draw because they come in so many different shapes and sizes. There are two basic types: simple and compound. Simple leaves have one blade (leaf) to a stem, while compound leaves have several blades (sometimes called leaflets) on a single stem. Within those groups, leaves have an amazing variety of patterns - see how many you can find.

Sharing our Leaf Drawings

After you’ve had a chance to share your leaf drawings, talk about how science and the arts may be integrated in the classroom. What are some specific examples of how you may connect science and arts-based skills?

(Think about your practicum classroom)

Two fine examples from former pre-service teachers/artists

For next time:

• Check the reading schedule.
• Bring your notes to our next session for discussion.
