The New GOW: A 3-Part Analysis
For those of you who would like your students to engage in a deeper analysis of the GOW, this new format (2-sided) might be worth a try: Part A: Analysis (same as what GOW is now) Part B: What can you foresee happening in the near future? Part C: Based on your response in Part B, what solution(s) can you investigate or what other information/resources can you gather to strengthen your argument? I have found in recent years that some of my students want to share alternate perspectives to the information the graph portrays. They give historical context, present a counterargument by citing another source, or want to justify their stance based on personal experience or prior knowledge. I purposely left a bit of space after part C in case you may want students to make your own part D: you can have them create another graphical representation of their own, or make an illustration or cartoon, etc. So this year, I'm trying out this new 3-part written analysis that will give my students a platform in which they can share a bit more. I can't wait to see what they come up with! Click on the image below. |
