The Einstein~Edison~Eiffel~E=mc2 Effect
Today's New idea for Teaching:
"Turn yourself from a paper tiger to a real-life high-flyer!
The Einstein~Edison~Eiffel~E=mc2 Effect
Use ur dream big energy to do big with ur brain matter and turn it into more at ur own unique speed of light
On the back of ur A test paper imagine something u can do with ur A knowledge
Imagination is more important than knowledge ~ Einstein
Darin’s exit slip: "I loved today proving my answers and Mr. Stuart (Store :-p) getting onto me."
He has trusted me to allow me inside his head and together we have made his inside bigger than his current outside
We are figuratively building an Eiffel Tower inside his heart and head of bigger and bigger believing in himself and thinking for himself
His dream of himself is now way bigger than his current outer bigness
But his do big is becoming so big that his outer reality and ability is becoming bigger on a weekly basis
Not only does he know who Einstein and da Vinci are, but HOW they became big, and how HE can use and apply this knowledge of them to help himself become big, including speaking in their native language of German and Italian
While trying his Math case in front of the court, Attorney Darin, Esq. successfully discovered an error in his thinking (Marzano Element 18 ~ Helping students examine errors in reasoning).
Then he used his knowledge of Einstein, saying, "OK. Was weiß ich? What do I know?", then da Vinci, "Well, Cosa vedo? What do I see?.....I see that the words under the graph say, "Lengths of toy boats in inches.....so.....that means there aren't 4 boats that are one inch but 1 boat that is 4 inches."
In his exit reflection slip below, which I used my Native American necklace to cover his last name (and wear to remind me to live from my spirit and not my ego, that way I don't care when they "fail" and "make me look bad" but care that they learn from their failure and truly grow smarter and succeed in the future - 2morrow, next year, doesn't matter - just matters that they do eventually succeed)
.....when he says he loved me (writing "Mr. Store" for Stuart - were working on his spelling phonics :-p) for getting onto him it was because before he could verbalize his reasoning I kept turning over the timer he got for trying his case and saying,
"Please explain this point to me again......OK, I liked that thinking but I'm still unclear about what you mean by this point.....What do you mean by.......OK, to rest your case tell the court one more time what you did wrong and how you know u r right now?"
Today I will have all students who scored an A on last week's tests write on the back an idea they can imagine doing with their A knowledge, then folding it into a paper airplane and flying it as far across the room (or outside ~ even better ~ better n bigger fun - better use of Plato's knowledge that we learn more in a state of fun than we do in a lecture)
Their additional homework will be designing and developing that idea into a reality this week.
We'll call this the Einstein~Edison~Eiffel~E=mc2 Effect, using their dream big energy to do big with their brain matter and turn it into more at their own unique speed of light
And celebrate with a 21 Pilots video (Marzano Element 3 ~ Celebrating Student Success)
