Ok, I was on a roll. I created the basic shell mind-maps for each unit involved in my CBR. Just a reminder, my lesson plan for the web 2.0 tool (mind42.com)will play a roll in my CBR challenge. So I made a basic mind-map for Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, Macbeth, and Pride & Prejudice. I included only themes, author info, and era background titles. The students will have to research these units (depending on what unit they are in) to collaborate and enhance the mind-maps. They will have to change colors, add links and images, add additional nodes. These mind-maps will be used by the groups in the unit lesson presentation.
I also decided to make a mind-map organizing my ideas for my own CBR challenge. Then I can use that when it comes time to explaining the challenge to my students. Plus it helps me keep track of what I have done and what I need to do.
For example, I know I have to finish my pre-survey by Wednesday and plan to assign the challenge by the end of the week. Then I will present learning styles, then teaching methods, and so on. I plan on continuing this mind-map by adding in links to the Sunshine State Standards website (instead of printing off copies), as well as links to learning styles and teaching methods and web 2.0 tools. The challenge will be figuring out what will get through the school students computer firewall. I also realized I can't have the students collaborate on the mind-map until I get access to their school emails.Which I will be inquiring about tomorrow.
