This week’s Activity of the Week is designed as a wrap-around activity that allows students to re-examine and extend previous work that they enjoyed and want to enhance.

The graphic organizer below extends participation with a project or assignment previously completed by students. The process of reengagement allows students a self-directed opportunity for self-evaluation and frames the ever-present possibility of reflection, revision, and refinement of previous work—in other words, continuous improvement.

Outcomes: 

• Learners will identify a preferred assignment and describe why they wish to revisit it.
• Learners will identify their growth in the time interval since their interaction with their chosen assignment.
• Learners will embellish the original work (revisions, alterations, ethnographic annotations).
• Learners will self-evaluate and identify areas for improvement of the original work.
• Learners will playfully explore opportunities for self-directed engagement and continuous improvement.

Enhancing Quality by Focusing on Process Graphic Organizer

Procedure:

1. Have students identify a previous activity/project they enjoyed and would like to spend more time iterating on.

2. Once students have identified and obtained the assignment they want to re-work, have them use the graphic organizer found in the resoruces link to facilitate the process.

3. In groups of two or three, have students work through the graphic organizer with peers.
