Hello Everyone, Well it was good to know that we are all approaching this
in similar ways. I too talk about thinking about your thinking as
metacognition and strategy use as a thing you choose to do.
I don't think I worded by e-mail well. What I am wanting to hear more about
is the journey once you have established these ideas and practice. How do
you all talk to kids about purposefully choosing a kind of thinking in order
to be strategic as you try to fix up confusions? Do you signal kids to
always ask a question first , or to try to visualize it, or to connect?
etc. As I gradually release responsibility, I wonder what I have really
left them to do. At this point we have a little chant
Does it click or does it clunk? Use your strategies to fix it up?
I don't think it is clear to my kids which strategy to use. Have any of you
found situations in which one strategy is the better over another? I am
just thinking out loud here.
Do you allow kids to discover for themselves the strategies that seem to fix
things up best for them?
Hope this is making sense? Gina
