Monday this week was a very positive day for my research study. I choose to bring in the Mixed Media lesson plans to have it reviewed by my Authentic Intellectual Work (AIW) group. I explained to them that I have been facilitating to build relationships and collecting information that will modify the next step in my action research. They were very supportive of this and had some great insight on finer points to make the lesson better. Even though it will not be my turn to share on the next Professional Development day they asked to see the finished student work. This week was Homecoming and as such our schedule was adjusted to allow time for the High School Students to participate in many different activities. But even with the shortened schedules students continued to work progressively on how they wanted to go about adding coloration to their projects. I even had a few take the beginning steps to the Photographic essay portion of the Photovoice Unit, which we have decided to move up in the time frame so that the projects with enclosed Modge Podge can become fully translucent before photographing the layers and creating the Voicethreads. I was also able to take several amazing photos of students in working mode on Thursday even though I had to resort to my cell phone because our poor school cameras need to see a technology doctor. Overall it was a enjoyable short week! I wasn’t at school Friday due to my Childhood bestie finally tying the knot! This next week I will have more students start the Photographic essay portion, administer my baseline survey, and go over the requirements for creating their voice threads. I will hopefully capture more peer conversations as well as photographs too.
