Announcements:         .          
  • Mrs. Brock is coming in tomorrow so we need to take the personality type test on Naviance
  • Results on Naviance personality test need to be printed and brought in by April 11 (reminder: it is just an online test, it is not an oracle).
  • Next Fishbowl has moved to April 17 since the 16th is registration: Our discussion will not just focus on Design but also development, don’t limit yourself on those 18 pages before the portfolio. Remember to read the introduction to the 6 senses as well.
  • Sentence due on April 11


We have 2 blogs due next week Free choice for Friday, And Sir Ken Robinson is due on wednesday
Start ahead and you might want to look a week ahead so you can make your life easier by starting during the weekend


Mrs. Lewallan then helped us set up an account on Naviance           .
(You can find her in the Guidance Center)
To register you need a code. Everyone in class got one today, but if you lost yours or need one, you can obtain a Naviance code by contacting Mrs. Lewallan.


To register on Naviance:          .
Begin at the Arapahoe Home Page
Click on the Student tab
click on Naviance Family Connection
click on “I need to register”’
enter the 6 character registration code
complete required information (email that you’ll most likely look at and password)
Remember login information
username: e-mail
password: password you created


To take the test:          .
Log into a Naviance account (You should get familiar with it)
Click “about me”
Click “my personality type”
Click “start assessment”
The Assesment will take about 15 minutes in total
Print out the graph page with a “narrative” of you.
when you are done, print it or take a screenshot immediately because it might not be accessible later on.


Tips:                                                                                  .
Read through it quickly
Choose the one that you are most like
You get better results if you choose the first gut feeling you have
Don’t ponder on the choices


We then talked about fishbowl:          .
We talked about how there were lots of views and the difference between discussing nonfiction and fiction. We decided that this book was scary if you were left brained with strong opinionated views. As well, since it is so easy to debate, Smith gave us the advice to be careful to explain your thoughts without “poking people in the stomach”. Smith then gave us a few suggestions to help us in fishbowl, such as:
  • questioning the things you know are true makes you stronger
  • Discussions can be real fruitful if we have that open mind and bring in outside resources


We then took the type test, make sure to print it off (found on Naviance)          .
2. we then took the brains test online, it isn’t 100% percent accurate (found on power point)
3. Then take the fun exam (found on power point)
We then had our own time to either converse, write our summaries, read, annotate, etc.

AWNM Intro-3 Period 5

Scribe P5: April 8th 2014

  • Smith began with her normal opening (hello class HELLO SMITH).
  • She then told us that she will be absent tomorrow as she will be with her friend’s son, who is having his heart examined (he was born with a heart that was underdeveloped on the  left side).
  • She took volunteers for jobs she would normally perform at the fishbowl tomorrow: Blake and Will will control the CoverItLive and Diana will keep track of the inner circle conversation.
  • And then she reiterated (multiple times) that our sentence must be ONE SENTENCE.
  • She said that there is no “wrong’ to the sentence, as long as it is A SENTENCE. (that is, it could be your purpose, what you live your life by, something that you believe in, etc.)
  • We finished the “If I should have a daughter” TED Talk ( Link to Sarah’s TED Talk video: http://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_kay_if_i_should_have_a_daughter.html) and Smith stated that the only rule for our TED talk is that it must be an idea worth spreading.
  • Smith had everyone open up a google doc to take notes on what Sarah (the TED Talk speaker) did well in her speech: we made a table:

Content
Style
Speaking Techniques
Spoken Word Poetry: expresses ideas in a different way
Passion: energy
Personal Stories
Open yourself up to hurts in the world to see the beauty
Personal
She knew what she was going to say: memorized speech
Develop talents to succeed
Confidence: stance, voice, movements, very sure of herself and her words, memorized speech
Tone of voice- adds to the story
Express yourself rather than hiding who you are
Rhythm
Gesticulation- used hand movements for emphasis
Don’t let yourself be unfazed by what goes on around you
Loose, Relaxed: Practiced, but takes things in stride
Played with audience’s emotions

Free flowing, pacing (of her words)
Got audience involved


Very descriptive


Good pace of speech- not too fast or too slow


Related to the audience: Used information people could connect to


Lots of eye contact: with entire crowd (but without scanning them)


Strong posture

  • and began a summary response for the “If I should have a daughter” TED Talk with a basic “template”:
Summary:
In Sarah Kay’s “If I Had a Daughter”, Kay [explains] the importance of walking through life with open arms because, without doing so, ___[we lose our humanity, become hard-shelled, etc.)____ happens.
  • Point one of summary (insert as many as needed to summarize succinctly and accurately)
  • Point two of summary
Conclusion
Response:
Sarah Day in the TED Talk “If I…” [correctly- opinion] [illustrates] the importance of being vulnerable because, without vulnerability…
  • Kay “you’ll miss out on life if you don’t walk around with open arms”
    • Education
    • World
    • Videos
    • Songs
    • Ideas
  • Smith then gave us ten minutes of work time and told us that from now on, we will be the ones extending our own learning- that we have to welcome every time that we walk into the classroom and embrace challenges.
