The Instructional Strategy of Reflection
Fall 2009-Day 13

What did you learn?	What are you still curious about?
I knew you could measure force, but I learned the formula for it.	I wonder if the formula will help us learn about force in class.
From above, the moon looks half lit no matter what. It has nothing to do with the earth.	What direction will we be headed in as we explore force?
I learned what is expected for the moon paper.	How has my understanding of force changed over the years? I remember learning it, but not really grasping it when I was younger.
I can actually design an entire unit!	I'm curious to know how well you were able to understand the concepts, and whether I did an effective job teaching.
It is important to ask questions if we don't understand something.	What kind of effect does pulling in opposite directions have on the force? So, if you are not moving, are you exerting the same force pulling on one weight by yourself that you would be getting to that same weight with two people pulling on it?
The moon is always half lit!	What will be learning about force?
Students are able to understand other students' questions and ideas often before the teacher because they are acclimated by engaging in the same activity in a very similar way.	What can we learn about force?
It is hard to not just have the answer.	When is the appropriate time to tell students the “answer?” How long do you let them struggle with it?
