Problems in Education: Research & Cross Talk

About half of you have not been reading your chosen non-fiction book regularly. From now on, for each class assign yourself between 20-30 pages (that's 10-15 pages per day) to read. Try to finish the book by the end of next week. There will be a test grade associated with this assignment.

Today in class please do the following:

1. If your group has not posted a question on the forum yet, please do so under Cross Talk Week One. Remember to use your subject as your heading and add SOTA to your subject line. The question should be open ended.

2. Each student (not the group but the individual) should post to 3 other questions posed on the forum. You should select ONE from Ms. Haines' class, ONE from Mr. Abel's class, and ONE from Ms. Johnson's MCC class. Do not answer any SOTA questions (other classes will respond to these if they have not already done so).

3. Continue your research on your topic. Share your research and findings with your group. Summarize your article ou were supposed to complete for homework for your group members, then discuss relevant or connecting information. Consider what you're hearing about the topic and use that to help your responses to questions on other school's questions.

4. Spend the rest of the lab period researching new areas. The idea is that your research for ANSWERS should spawn new QUESTIONS. Let these questions lead you to new answers, and so the cycle continues.
