Big Idea: Structures for Student Support

Essential Question: How can learning experiences be structured for success?

...organize into groups where everyone's strengths get used.

****************************

1) Warm Up: 

1. List upcoming assignments.
2. Set a SMART goal for this week.

2) Literacy Block: Analyzing Learning Styles and College Performance

1. First Graph: 
1. List the learning preferences from best to worst score.
2. Is anything surprising when you see the scores for the Lecture and Lab portions? Any results that you didn't expect?
2. Second Graph:
1. List the learning preferences from most to least prevalent.
3. Combined:
1. Knowing which learning preferences are most common, how would you expect students with that learning preference to perform? Is this accurate? Cite an example from the graphs.

Learning styles and final grades in college physiology

3) Lesson Plan: Learning Preferences Phrase Game and GREAT Groups!

1. Write your name on a card in the color that corresponds to your highest preference learning style.
2. You'll be sorted into groups to play VARK Telephone:
1. TIME EACH ROUND! List these.
2. The Read/Write person gets a phrase.
3. Act out the phrase to the Kinesthetic person.
4. Kinesthetic person draws the phrase for the Visual person.
5. The Visual person describes the phrase for the Auditory person.
6. The Auditory person writes the phrase for the Read/Write person to check.
7. Were you correct?
3. Debrief: 

1. Which rounds took the least time? Most time? 
2. Who might have the easiest time learning in school? Hardest? 
3. What can students do on their own to help with that?
4. On an index card: Write a random number on your card. Describe your normal role in a group. Describe your ideal role in a group.
5. In your notes: Relate your role to your learning preferences.
6. List the characteristics of awesome groups and not awesome groups.
7. Card scramble and group sort.

4) Success Workshop: Organize it!

1. Is your binder organized?
2. Are all Google Docs in folders?
3. Is your TOC up to date?
4. Do you know upcoming assignments? Are they in your phone or Google Calendar?

5) Exit Ticket: Do you live up to expectations of group members? Why or why not? What do you need to change?
