Agenda & Activities - Wrap-up, Day 1

Session II-1-A: Introduction/Warm-up (30 minutes)

Objectives

  • Review of major points from the first workshop

Activity

    • Participants briefly share reflections.
    • Depending on the characteristics of your group, an option is to start the session with a group activity with a lot of movement and interaction.
    • Or, you might ask people to post what they found most surprising/difficult/unusual about their investigations and discuss?

Facilitator’s Comments: If your group is small (less than 7), space the presentations so that everyone has a chance to respond to each one.

Session II-1-B: Investigative Practice Presentations (Two 2-hour sessions)

Objectives

  • Provide a safe environment for each participant to share and discuss classroom investigation.
  • Give and receive positive feedback.
  • Help participants plan next steps in their investigation. Where could they go from here?

Activity

  • Spend some time reviewing the reporting and feedback process. Make sure to stress that the feedback is for the individual conducting the presentation, should be content related, and may include suggestions for further inquiry or practice.
  • See sample feedback form.
  • During this part of the session, the facilitator(s) will collect feedback forms after each presenter and place the forms in an envelope. They could have handed out the forms immediately, or saved them for the end of the day.

Facilitator’s Comments: Allow for at least five minutes for the group to complete the feedback form.

Session: II-1-C: Reflection (30 minutes)

  • Ask participants to identify an issue, practice, or idea that piqued their interest. Inform the participants about what they will be discussing the following day.
