Discussion Assignment

In the discussion forum, you are expected to participate often and engage in deep levels of discourse.  Please post your initial response as early in the unit as possible and continue to participate throughout the unit. You are required to post an initial response to the question/issue presented in the Forum and then respond to at least 3 of your classmates’ initial posts.  You should also respond to anyone who has responded to you. 

• Think about your current or previous teaching positions; perhaps consider a previous job not-related to teaching. Drawing from your own content area or previous work experiences, focus on the (1) lowest level and the (2) highest level of one domain taxonomy. Select either affective, cognitive, or psychomotor; do not include all three. In your post, share with peers how you implement both the lowest and highest levels of domain taxonomy in your classroom or workplace for one part of a lesson or task.
•  For example, if you select the cognitive domain,  how do you have students ‘recall’ information (low level) and how do you have students ‘evaluate’ information (high level)?
•  To inspire your post, think about what enrichment activities you include (or would include) in your class, what formative strategies you use, and what products or presentations you allow students to submit. These are only suggestions and you do not need to necessarily address each of these considerations.
•  When you reply to peers, please comment on the appropriateness of the activity. Does the teacher task accurately reflect the low level and high level of the chosen domain taxonomy? Can you offer any suggestions?
• Discussion Forums will be peer-assessed using this rubric.
