Star Hero Journey

Star Journey -Team Hero My Activity 

Social Studies TEK describe the negative and positive impacts both human and natural activities that can occur in a school garden

  • ARTS: Theater - Imitating and recreating the growth of a plant; imitating or recreating the positive and negative impacts of activities on a garden

  • Toy Theater - students will be able to build their own greenhouse to protect their garden from our hurricane season
Example of Toy Theater, a way for students to create their own greenhouse




STANDARDS

5.3.a Model and learn with students how to formulate computational solutions to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback.

Students will be able to build and create their own greenhouse.  This will allow for students to use trial and error in their building skills and build their problem solving thinking skills. 

5.3.c Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer application of knowledge in new contexts.

My group and I will be working collaboratively to form a plan on helping students better understand plants and what they do in our garden while using technology tools to build knowledge on how they can use technology in multiple ways.  After the hero journey story, students will then

Digital Makerspace:

How will you exemplify a learner response or two?

Throughout the story along with the activity I am planning on asking guiding questions and questions to keep their brains thinking about new possibilities.  This will help them build off their original ideas and spruce them up and help their peers brainstorming process as well.

How will you make your activity DIGITALLY creative and collaborative among the participants?

For my activity, the participants will be digitally creating a greenhouse to help protect their garden.  my partner is using a digital tool for the participants to create stepping stones that lead to the greenhouse that they will create an imagine of a positive impact that greenhouses have on a garden. 


How will you promote and support learners toward a CCISD Multimedia fair submission?

After the hero journey story, students will then be prompted to work on the toy theater activity that was picked off the CCISD Multimedia Fair website.  My partner and I will also explain how we used technology to help us create our hero story they just listened too.  

What question and sentence prompts will you use to demonstrate Growth Mindset and Appreciative Inquiry facilitation within your activity?

I will be using guiding questions that are teachable in the moment for the participants and keep positive reinforcement.  "Its okay try again"  "that is awesome"  "what do you think would happen if you did this instead"  "why did you create this"  "what did you like about this"  "what is one thing you would change if you could about this activity"  
I have also learned that is important that students feel heard and they know you are hearing their concerns.

  1. Hey! I think your activity for this star journey is great! I think it is a great way for students to visually see how and what effects plants, and what they do to in our gardens. Overall, it looks like a great activity.

  2. Hi Skylar, I really like the activity that you have planned for the kids we are going to have at Metro E. The standards that you picked go perfectly with your TEK and your activity. I liked the questions that you came up with to use to demonstrate Growth Mindset and Appreciative Inquiry facilitation.

  3. Skylar! I believe that your activity is very creative. I love the technological use of Toy Theater. I have actually NEVER heard of it until now, but it looks like a fantastic tool to integrate into my future teaching as needed.
    You incorporate the ISTE standards,
    5.3.a Model and learn with students how to formulate computational solutions to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback. &
    5.3.c Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer application of knowledge in new contexts.
    Each of these standards also have an explanation to them, as did Skylar's Blog, so I believe I will return back to my blog and do the same!
    With that being said, my only critique (if you can even call it that) is that I would have LOVED to see your AI story in here as well! Either way, great work.

  4. 1. Hey Skylar ! I love the way your portfolio looks ! it was well organized and had ISTE standard relating to each activity you shared. I think that there are some Collaborator standards that could fit on multiple activities. I believe the only activities we had that didn't require collaboration was our portfolio and blogs. I think you did a great job and I love how you included examples of the resources that you used.

    2.I think you did a really good job of connecting your standards to your activities, I didn't see anything personally that didn't fit. The organization of your portfolio is really well executed.

  5. Hi Skylar, I like the way your portfolio looks I think that you did a great job on it! I love how visual your portfolio is with all the pictures that you took and that you have in your portfolio. Your Collaborator section was great I had never thought of putting our zoom meetings for the team meetings in our portfolio. It was something that fits perfectly with the collaborator standards since we had to collaborate with each other as well as students from other classes. You had 3 ISTE standards on each tab with different activities that we did all semester that matched up great. You did a great job connecting your standards to your activities and had your portfolio organized well.
