Today's fortune, how fitting. 8220;Fourth Great Awakening.” (P 219) There is no one size fits all in this quest for meaning, but the quest for purpose is a fundamental part of who man is and what he does. Can’t people see beyond the separation of church and state and realize that spirituality is part of the whole person? I think i...

Sunday, March 23, 2014. Week 9 - Teaching as if Life Matters. Developing a Mission Statement. Facilitating art experiences for students in order that they can both relate to AND find their place in the world. Cultivating Classroom Kinship – Relationship With the Human Other. Consider the word "teacher". During the past five to seven years I have heard much talk about the role of teacher changing from that of Sage on the Stage. To that of Guide on the Side. How does it relate to my goals? I posted this in...

Burnt Toast: Week 10 Loving the Questions

http://lookslikeburnttoast.blogspot.com/2014/04/week-10-loving-questions.html

Saturday, April 5, 2014. Week 10 Loving the Questions. Contemporary pedagogy does little to foster, much less nurture, natural human curiosity. Social conditioning, to some degree, tends to discourage an innate desire for knowledge. However, it is through the process of asking the right questions that learning becomes personal and therefore meaningful. Six Explorations designed to cultivate “question-based learning.” (p 62). Questions to Create Community:. Contemplating the innermost working and feelings...

Burnt Toast: Crumbs

http://lookslikeburnttoast.blogspot.com/p/crumbs.html

I'll use this as a place to post random thoughts, stuff not related to class assignments. I installed the counter widget about a year ago. Considering that it is primarily a homework blog, I am continually amazed by the number of visitors I've had from all over the world. I'm not sure just how they stumble upon Burnt Toast, but I love it! Today, during lunch I thought I would check on our class blogs. Unfortunately anything resembling a blog is blocked and this lovely ACCESS DENIED. Beth - SpaceTime Cat.

Burnt Toast: Week 11 - Reflection on Reflection

http://lookslikeburnttoast.blogspot.com/2014/04/week-11-reflection-on-reflection.html

Sunday, April 13, 2014. Week 11 - Reflection on Reflection. I had a vivid mental image of the feather frenzy in your room. Feathers rank right up there in a category close to glitter for me. I use them, but days later find that students are still distracted by the tiny little barbs that seem to float through the room for days on end. I seem to recall that your district was requiring some serious integration of images and core curriculum content. Was this image one of them, just out of curiosity? I find m...

Burnt Toast: Reflecting on Reflections Week 9

http://lookslikeburnttoast.blogspot.com/2014/04/reflecting-on-reflections-week-9.html

Friday, April 4, 2014. Reflecting on Reflections Week 9. Your historical social restrictions comments made me laugh. I clearly recall the list of restrictions that my advanced methods teacher gave us right before student teaching, 100 million years ago. He stood before the class and delivered this sage advice:. Join a church immediately. Never step foot into an establishment that sells liquor, be seen purchasing alcohol, or with a drink in your hand. Consequently, I have great admiration for those of you...

Burnt Toast: Week 12, Video #2

http://lookslikeburnttoast.blogspot.com/2014/04/week-12-video-2.html

Saturday, April 19, 2014. Week 12, Video #2. It wouldn’t take too much to make the current curriculum meaningful:. I’m pretty sure that I have covered at least four or five of these skills with this unit, though none of these outcomes has been the focus of a lesson. Pre Video Watching Reflection. They were SO excited. Post Video Viewing Reflection. During the independent work time one girl shared that she would like to create a dress and on the skirt she planned to use actual photographs of memories with...

Burnt Toast: Week 12 Reflections

http://lookslikeburnttoast.blogspot.com/2014/04/week-12-reflections.html

Saturday, April 26, 2014. I had a multi-paragraphed comment composed and lost it when I tried to click over and see where your school is located. Looks like I would learn that I can't do that! So many times I shun so-called arts integrated units, because they have such a contrived feel to them. The focus is often heavily towards one content area with an artsy crafty component is added in - *viola* integration. I love the authenticity of this unit! I cringe to think how videos from my first year of teachi...
