Hi Jenna. Ready to work?

Does student learning increase with the use of Pink's six senses? Does student engagement increase with... Can students learn more effectively with Pink's six senses? What impact can Pink's six senses help with student learning?

How can we use a constructivist approach to utilize

Theory - Constructivist appraoch New Tools - Penzu, Text2mindmap (map short stories and develop connections),

Assess design after completing project - What is the meaning? Symphony? Etc. of the text

Compelling Question: How can my students construct an understanding literature through the six senses and the use of Text2MindMap? Material Use: Work of literature (short story, novel)

Students will present mind map as assessment tool.

Include student reflection Do you have a better understanding of story now? Do you have a better understanding of design?

Jenna - Pull text of each idea to use with students to introduce various ideas.

From the example:


 * Organize by constructivism ideas --and students fulfilling these ideas
 * Introduction -- start with question and multiple parts in answering
 * Texts easy to read
 * Still photos and videos--capture the STORY of the ILP and answer the question
 * A final thought -- repeat the question throughout...capture the purpose of the story
 * start camera 5 seconds before you start dialogue and let run for 5 seconds when done...give a buffer
 * borrow flipcamera -- but not as quality as a digital camera
 * audio needs to be loud enough
 * storyboard it...research based and organized and creative and designed and symphony and final product

Organize by constructive theory -- video tape students working on assignments to capture the theory with typed text

Relate to Pink when they present the concept map with a slide/text of the sense
