For my first Genre Reflection I decided to format my writing into a one-pager. When my students complete a one-pager
they are required to include at least two direct quotes from a text, responses to both quotes, a title, and some sort of picture. We have done more one-pagers than I can count already and I have no doubt we will continue to do one-pagers throughout the semester, so I wanted to use this for my reflection to see the difficulties and thinking involved in completing a one-pager. I did my one-pager over the first time I taught for a whole class period. Overall, it went very well, but I wanted to reflect on this lesson to go over the surprising moments and ways I could improve for my next lesson.

Dear Shea,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've structured your one pager, moving from quote to reflection. It shows how diligent you are, and I love that you've displayed the importance of being able to learn from your students. It's a great environment to work in when you and your students belong to one learning cycle and everyone learns from each other. It's productive, inspiring, and it has this collaborative quality that I appreciate and commend you for! Thank you so much for sharing your one pager as it has reminded me that it's okay to not know everything, and it's okay to admit this to your students and just learn from one another.
Miss Shea Brill,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and what a cool idea! I love that you formatted your reflection in the form of a learning strategy.
I think that we get so wrapped up in what we need to remember to say and in trying to incorporate all of these pieces of information we've been taught that we forget that it's okay to be transparent. In fact, its more than okay. Generally our students will respect us more for being human, for making -- and owning up to our mistakes, for not knowing all of the answers, and for trying to learn from what they have to offer and the things that they bring into the classroom.
Thank you again for sharing.

I love the one pager, Shae! It seems at the middle school level they do that type of assignment at least once a week. ;) Incorporating their work into your work is awesome because it allows you to learn in the same aspects as your students. Your picture on the one pager cracks me up. Since when did you become so brown haha! It was fun being teaching your students when I subbed for your teacher. I wrote her a nice letter about you and how wonderful you are with the kids.
