Examining the student experience
- What observations can you make about your rock? The rock is transparent, mossy green, has a fracture mark, appears to have sharp edges.
- How did this rock form? I assume that tourmaline is a naturally occuring substance, meaning that it is not man made.
- What is it made from? Tourmaline is a mineral meaning that it does not include other substances like rocks do.
- What don't you know about the rock yet? I don't know where Tourmaline is found (geographic location), I don't know if it comes in colors other than pink and green.
Peg,
ReplyDeleteYou have made good observations. Do you think this is a good task for our online course? Will it help the online participants to understnad how difficult it is for students to tell about the "hook" rock at the beginning of the unit?
