Quotes of the Day

The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a word of art helps them feel, they must reach int their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. -Elliot Eisner

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. " In English," he said, " a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

After Class Reflections for the Class held March 15

The assessment experience was a good way to me to face my fears on feedback. I had basically finished my podcast, but it was a really rough copy. It had a lot of mistakes so it was hard to let others hear it when I knew it needed more work. They gave me great feedback so it was a positive experience. Whereas I think most of the time, I associate feedback with negative feelings. You only get called in if there might be something to criticize, right?

I need to work on giving feedback, because if it seemed satisfactory, there wasn't much I wanted to point out specifically that I thought was weak . I think I got the strong points out. I have to say then, that getting feedback was the more interesting experience.

I will definitely require my students to specifically use each assessment at least once and they will peer evaluate (if they have shown themselves to be mature enough).
