Discussion of COVID-Climate Change Podcast and Intro to Metacognition

9/15/2020

 

This 1939 map of Los Angeles ranks neighborhoods by desirability, as determined by the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC). The scale from most to least desirable goes from green to blue to yellow to red. HOLC maps generally rated poorer or less white neighborhoods as less desirable.

Today's Learning Goals

  • Be able to identify the main premises of the homework podcast
  • Formulate a well-reasoned response to and critique of the THESIS of the podcast based on a critical analysis of each premise
  • Understand what metacognition is and why it matters to your success!

Today's Agenda
  1. Announcements (2 minutes)
  2. Starter (5 minutes)
  3. Debrief homework (podcast) (30 minutes) + Powerpoint on Redlining
  4. Intro to Metacognition (15 minutes)
  5. Explain the homework and give y'all work time

Announcements
  • Bring materials for outside class this Thursday/Friday
  • Homework: We have a seminar in class on Thursday. You’ll need to read the text for this seminar before class. We’ll go over the assignment at the end of class today. It is posted in google classroom.
  • SVEN is required on Thursday for senior project orientation

Starter 7: What was your overall reaction to the podcast we listened to for homework? Just journal on your thoughts for 5 minutes. Here are some questions to spur your thinking:
  • How did the intensity of Anthony Rogers-Wright hit you? Did it make you inspired or turn you off from his ideas?
  • Did you find yourself agreeing or disagreeing?
  • What was your emotional state like during and after listening?
  • What questions did it raise?
  • What was left out or what would you need to do more research on to determine whether the claims were legit?

Redlining Powerpoint

Whole Class Homework Debrief
  • What are the premises? I’ll share my whiteboard screen and take notes as you all share out what you identified as the main arguments (premises) in support of the conclusion or overarching THESIS of this podcast.
  • Logical Argumentation: You may not agree with everything in this podcast, but can you reject the source flat-out? Let’s find out what premises resonate with you and which ones do not.  
  • Look at the list of premises we created:
    • Which ones do you agree with? Why?
    • Which ones do you disagree with? Why? In other words, where does the author lose you? 

Transition to Metacognition and Academic Mindsets
  1. What is Metacognition? Powerpoint
  2. Assign homework and begin working

Homework (Due by the beginning of class THURSDAY):  Read and carefully annotate the assigned Academic Mindsets article. IT IS IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM.
Be prepared to be engaged in class discussions with your questions, and the relevancy of the article to yourself. Annotate for the following:
  • What are your questions/confusions?
  • What are the key vocabulary terms in this article? Look them up if you don’t know the definition.
  • What is the main point of the article?
  • What are significant lines/arguments/ideas? Highlight them.
