I learned it was important to give students time to complete the task. I felt that if I rushed (as I almost did) that they wouldn't be able to get all of their ideas out... or the ideas they felt were most important.
3. What insights have you gained about this strategy by talking to other group members?
4. Which course and period did you first implement this literacy strategy? Explain why.

4. Which course and period did you first implement this literacy strategy? Explain why.
My fifth hour Beginning Journalism class; I used this class because I wanted to review a term with them (what is Opinion?) and we were able to alter it to create a brainstorming session for story ideas (modification of the strategy).
5. What did you learn during this first implementation about the strategy, your students, your instruction?
5. What did you learn during this first implementation about the strategy, your students, your instruction?
I thought this went well from the start. Students were engaged with creating their own web on what the term meant to them, then when they shared, they actively created a larger web between the pair. I was pleased with how well the students came together as a class to create a "definition" of the term.
6. What did you learn when you saw another teacher implementing this strategy?
7. What did you learn from the feedback supplied to you by another
teacher when they observed your implementation of this strategy?
I felt my feedback from Weber about how well this seemed to work for brainstorming story ideas took this to a deeper level for the students.
8. How did you change your thinking and/or implementation of this
strategy based on your observation(s), feedback you received, and your
experience implementing?
9. Do you anticipate using this strategy again? Explain your response.
Yes, I plan on using it again because it is a way for students to think in a non-linear way.
