Book Club 1

1. One new idea from book club is to make sure that I write down all people and descriptions.
2. The most interesting part of my book is Alex’s family because there really fun and there all different people and personality.
3. In discussion next time I can grow as a collaborator by making sure people are done talking before I talk because sometime I would talk but other people were not done.

What did white slave owners use their slaves for? Why? They used there slaves to show that they are rich and to do there work.

Reflecting on Clue

 

What thinking moves did you use when playing this game (questioning, connecting, listening, observing, deducing, reasoning, etc? I was thinking I hope I get into a room. I was also thinking about the clue cards because some people in my group wanted to use them but some didn’t and I don’t know how to use them so I was thinking how do I use them.

 

 

  • How did organizing your information impact your experience playing the game? I helped me by making sure that I was writing notes and making sure I pay attention so I can make good guesses. 

 

  • Where else do you use these thinking skills (at school, at home, on sports teams, etc)?  Science  because in science we have to make hypothesis about different guesses when we do labs.

 

  • When might you need this kind of thinking?  Maybe in when I play at home because I can make sheets and use my strategies.

 

First Clue

 

  • What did you notice or observe during the game? I noticed that I was the only one who has never played clue before.
  • What kind of questions did you ask yourself (meta)? I asked myself how do I play this.
  • When did you first begin drawing connections between different characters, clues, pieces of information? I started when people made guesses and other people showed them i made the connection.
  • What were those connections? When people made guesses and other people showed them I made the connection.
  • What were your biggest clues? When I would or someone else made a guess and know one should there cards. 
  • What information seems most important to collect? I tried to figure out who has what cards and what cards are in the envelope. 
  • *What is the difference between an observation and information? Observation is guess and make clues and information is when you put different pieces together like a puzzle.
