Notas do Editor

  1. say hi. who are you guys? knowledge level?
  2. Are we familiar with these?
  3. The plan: BIG PICTURE within our curriculum 1. universal concepts (all subjects) 2. subject specific generalizations (specific to one) 3. parallel history for s.s. motivation (specific to ss)
  4. For gifted learners, an appropriately differentiated classroom will
  5. have material, activities, projects or products, homework, and assessments
  6. that are complex enough, abstract enough, open-ended enough, and multifaceted enough
  7. to cause gifted students to stretch in knowledge, thinking, and production.
  8. We need to jam all the details of subjects into abstract, open-ended, generalizations
  9. We need to jam all the details of subjects into abstract, open-ended, generalizations
  10. We need to jam all the details of subjects into abstract, open-ended, generalizations
  11. We need to jam all the details of subjects into abstract, open-ended, generalizations
  12. We need to jam all the details of subjects into abstract, open-ended, generalizations
  13. We need to jam all the details of subjects into abstract, open-ended, generalizations
  14. This is hard! Our curriclum & texts won’t help us! Find ways to differentiate for our students. One way to promote abstract, open-ended, multifaceted thinking - UNIVERSAL CONCEPTS
  15. List of universal concepts developed by Kaplan and Gould. BIG ideas. span several disciplines. let’s take POWER
  16. List of universal concepts developed by Kaplan and Gould. BIG ideas. span several disciplines. let’s take POWER
  17. Should go across all disciplines. How do we see power across the disciplines? Math? Science, Social Studs?
  18. Use big idea icon as an organizer to discuss/introduce universal concepts. An example of DEductive reasoning. We go big to small. I hear that in TX people have an accent. I notice details that support this.
  19. Concept can be used in a sentence to form a generalization. More specific, but still abstract and multifaceted.
  20. used/abused - think across disciplines - discuss application. Put in DEDUCTIVE organizer again. Prove this using... sci, math, etc.
  21. taken/given/earned - think across disicplines
  22. Use big idea icon as an organizer to discuss/introduce universal concepts.
  23. when true across disc?
  24. deductive reasoning using one of these generalizatoins. Think about what we could apply it to. A story, a unit in science, all disciplines, P.E.? use artwork to practice going deductive
  25. Develop some “generalizatios” for the various themes using your worksheet”
  26. use artwork to find examples of power...
  27. use an existing generalization, create you own. Add it to the wall!
  28. we’re going to do this using conflict 1. brainstorm ALL conflict... keep going despite silence 2 . now lets categorize - lots of freedom here 3. develop a statement using the labels you cook up.
  29. WHY ever do this? ABSTRACT, OPEN ENDED, creative, useful for later, put on wall and use with activities later in the year. Conflict statements used throughout Language Arts.
  30. althogh multi-disciplinarian, some apply *very nicely* to a certain subject. In this case, I like to frame the year around that statement. Creating a subject-specific theme.
  31. quote started the idea for me
  32. considering what I want to emphasize in writing throughout the year
  33. directly took from list of generalizations fit PERFECTLY with CA 6th earth science
  34. Why Use A Subject Specific Theme?
  35. Forms A Story - especially in Social Studies
  36. Guides Instruction - helps me plan and prepare. As Tomlinson said “go beyond facts”
  37. Large enough to be used in future study
  38. To Develop A Meaningful, Useful, Standards-friendly Theme?
  39. Rubric: naturally. easy to check this with our standards in text, etc
  40. how do we know BIG IDEA? Check “standards introduction” for subject within grade level, use big standards, use expert knowledge.
  41. how do we know BIG IDEA? Check “standards introduction” for subject within grade level, use big standards, use expert knowledge.
  42. Not too specific, since this should apply perhaps to futur within subject or even across - ABSTRACT
  43. Not too specific, since this should apply perhaps to futur within subject or even across - ABSTRACT
