Wicked Problem Part C
Click here to listen to my first ever podcast that I created about the implementation of my lesson. By using role playing and Flip cameras, the lesson teaches students how to use Conscious Discipline strategies to solve peer conflicts.
Your podcast sounds great. More detailed than mine. Have you done this type of project before with your students? You talked about the students watching the film. I think it would be great if we could catch our students in action just so they could get the point even better. You are right we just don't have the video camera ready for it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a great plan ready. I'm sure students will have a great time watching their peers. Will you use the videos in a weekly classroom meeting type setting, or when problems arise? It would be great if you were able to develop a wide range of videos that you could pull from when needed.
I agree - it would be difficult to have a camera at the ready when a conflict occurs between two or more students. Another possible strategy would be to identify 3 to 5 conflict causing topics, develop scripts around them and have the student role play the scenario. It might be a good idea to check the WWW to see if someone has already developed scripts and is willing to share them. This would give the students a way to safely practice their conflict resolution skills as well as create a "teaching" video that can be shared with others. Looking forward to learning more about Conscious Discipline. We will be using CHAMPS in conjunction with MiBLSi in the fall.
ReplyDeleteYour podcast is much more detailed than mine (i like it). Also, you were very scripted, this was good because I knew that you had planned out what you said before you recorded. I did the same thing. We are basically working on the same social skills project, but yours is geared toward younger students. I like listening to the progress that you are making with the younger students because I have often said that the younger the students the more vulnerable they are to the material.
