We will be reading:


The Man Who Was Almost a Man

Study Packet 

Story board rubric


In this short reading, you will read the story and packet. You will be asked to do a genre-level analysis with the concepts we have been using for the last few months. The key to this assignment is in the creation of a time line of the story and the creation of points of causation. In this assignment you should identify each of the following:

• Setting
• Mood
• Point of View
• Central Conflict
• Protagonist
• Antagonist
• Inciting Cause
• Climax
• Resolution

Along with these, you should give examples of these literary devices and how they are employed and explain their effect on the plot, the characters, and the reader.

• foreshadow
• flashback
• suspense
• irony
• symbolism

Theme:

1. What statement is the author making in this story about human nature  and/or society in general?
2. How do events in the story prove or support your statement you mentioned in 1.?

What we covered in the first class:

What is virtual -- almost
What is a World -- beliefs, perceptions, existence, imagination, people, environment, atmosphere, area, time, surroundings, interaction, memory, container of objects, self, place, IT -- THAT.

Measurement -- You should assess, measure and evaluate your environment. This is what will make your work stand above the rest. Data talks -- no need for sales talks.

Barbell Factory was an example of this. Student comments.

Tools, toys, pivots, activity theory

 Play provides a transitional
stage in this direction whenever an object (for example a stick) becomes a
pivot for severing meaning of horse from a real horse. The child cannot yet
detach thought from object. (Vygotsky, 1976, p 97).
Thus play seems essential to development, and the role of the pivot ( a toy, representation, or even a game) is important in aiding that early childhood development, where children may move from recognitive play to symbolic and imaginative play, i.e. the child may play with a phone the way it is supposed to be used to show they can use it (recognitive), and in symbolic or imaginative play, they may pretend a banana is the phone. This is an important step since representation and abstraction are essential in learning language, especially print and alphabetical systems for reading and other discourse. There are as many types of play as there are people and cultures. A few types to consider are:
• Recognitive, or Mastery play – learning how to use objects
• Creative play – playing with aesthetics
• Deep play – learning about risk and danger
• Recapitulative play – den building, hiding, climbing
• Dressing up – experimenting with identity
• Rough and tumble play – testing your own strength
For this reason play and gaming, structured forms of play, may be reasonable predictors for comprehension and problem solving. In play, we create models; try on roles; and experience the world in the safety of play. Play may also expand comprehension in surprising ways, but often activities involving play are seen as non-academic—therefore non-educational, lacking rigor and thus, not really learning (Dubbels, submitted).

Salon: What is the difference between learning and education?

education is learning with intent

leanring is always happening

when you stop learning you start dying

Activity Theory  -- an object can educate as it instructs in use through design as the user works towards use to a goal.

Barbell Factory  -- Any activity in the classroom is measurable and worthy of research.

What methods can we use -- many.
