Our reading for yesterday from Improving Adolescent Literacy described metacognition on page 13 as "thinking about one's thinking." It also said metacognition "is being aware of what one knows and does not know." So...where are you after our first couple of inservices? What do you know that you didn't? What areas are still unclear? More importantly, what are you going to do that you haven't tried?
To make this a learning experience, it's best to see these ideas in action. Who's trying some of the strategies suggested? Can you use the Flip Camera to tape a bit of it? Let colleagues know when you're going to be employing any of the strategies described so they can come in and visit. Plan to share with us on the blog and during our inservice time.
