Another great day of the UIWP Summer Institute included a phenomenal presentation by Allison Cox over the RAFT strategy for writing. This approach to writing asks students to investigate the role of speaker and audience in determining appropriateness and form of writing.
In the afternoon participants continued to work on their inquiry topics and expanded their maps. These maps will help the teachers at UIWP further their understanding of the many facets involved in some of the most pressing questions in education.
We're getting pumped for our hosting of the second week of NWP's Collaborative Learning MOOC! In preparation for the discussions on remediation that we will be hosting, we spent the late afternoon session altering the texts we based on pictures back into different types of visual images. |
