Hey Mrs. Adams,
Thank you so much for obtaining the Tribes book. When is it due back? Also, what did you notice about Collin's Big 6 presentation?
Here are a few of my take-aways after using the Big 6 for the first time:
- Generates powerful student Inquiry - I participated and overheard several deep student discussions about the topic of education.
- The Big 6 approach offers an easy-to-follow writing/research structure - meets the needs of divergent learners.
- I need to offer more teacher-led instruction as it relates to the essential question/thesis statement.
- The Big 6 model offers multiple options in terms of how one presents their research findings. In the Spring, we'll revisit writing a research paper. This time they were given the option to do an oral presentation.
Okay, I could go on and on. But thanks again!
Mr. Brxxx
