Growing up I've always enjoyed the activities in elementary school where you really had to read and think about what the instructions were trying to say! In my Learning and Digital Media class last week, I was brought right back to those days. Before our professor gave us the assignment he told us that he would not answer any questions, just that once we finished the assignment to hang it on the art board and we would compare everyone's paper. We were given two pieces of paper, one with three instructions and pictures of different markings, and one blank piece of paper.
After reading the instructions I was extremely confused and got a little bit stressed because I had no idea what to do! Not going to lie I turned to my neighbor to see if she understood, but she seemed a bit puzzled to. I read over the instructions about three more times so that I could come up with some sort of game plan before I begun making markings on my blank paper. I decided that my plan would be to only roll the dice 30 times and roll twice on the second roll, add them up and then roll three times on the third roll, add them up and then start over until I rolled 30 times.
At first I was a little unsure of what I was doing, but after I made a plan I was confident in my decision. After everyone finished we hung up ur work and compared. It was interesting to see that everyone had a different take on the same assignment. Some people thought that every roll had to equal a total of 30 and others rolled and added 30 times.
I enjoyed this lesson because I feel that it reveals things about each student that one may not have known before. For example, a teacher is able to see how a student may react in stressful or confusing situation or how they try an figure out a problem (making a plan before acting or just acting without anything in consideration).
