DESCRIPTION

Interested in helping students become better readers, writers, and critical thinkers? We need to “play with media” to become more effective communicators and improve our media literacy skills as both learners and citizens. As you learn to play with digital text, images, audio and video, you will communicate more creatively and flexibly with a wider variety of options. Author and educator Wesley Fryer will inspire and empower you, as a creative person, to expand your personal senses of digital literacy and digital agency as a multimedia communicator!

The Fire

There was a fire ban that yearBut the carless campers left

Leaving smoldering remains behindThe fire that ate the forest

Wind whispered wordlessly in the treesThe fire was given new lifeLike a new small heartbeatThe fire that ate the forest

Tuesday, July 24, 12

Page 70: Improving Reading, Writing and Critical Thinking Skills with Media (July 2012)

...continued...

The fire lit the dry grassIt was gathering in strength

Like a lion preparing to strikeThe fire that ate the forest

The fire now reached the treesIt was a wild beast let free

Grey smoke billowed up to the skyThe fire that ate the forest

...when assigning a project, teachers look for mastery of content and allow students to take ownership of how they present that content. A teacher may ask students to demonstrate their knowledge of photosynthesis, but rather than give them a specific means of doing so, will allow the students to use any available resources to do so. This not only gets the students innovating more as they navigate through this task, but more importantly makes each student’s experience unique and gives them ownership over the product they produce. Some students may make posters, some a voicethread, some a powerpoint or prezi, but this should be no problem for the educator as they are assessing on mastery learning objectives and not actual means of presenting them.
