GT-Warmup-Cooldown #389

Closed jkostiuk closed 3 weeks ago

jkostiuk commented 1 month ago

Warmups and Cooldowns for GT, further addressing TeamBasedInquiryLearning/library#28.

Meta note: I'm still open to suggestions for a different name other than cooldown.

Let me know when/were I should be contributing some text to explain to instructors what these things are.

Re "cooldown": "Looking ahead" has stuck in my mind.

jkostiuk commented 1 month ago

hmmm..."looking ahead" implies an element of "preview" in the activities, which isn't necessarily true.

How do you feel about "Checking In" or "Self-Assessment"?

The main purpose of these activities is for students to see if they really have it, or need to do a little more review, etc.

I think Steven and I have loose plans to begin work on an instructor version during the Edit-A-Thon, in which case there will be a way to add a note at the beginning about this and anything else we want to communicate to instructors.

Leaving this question open as it's discussed in TeamBasedInquiryLearning/library#28

It's the breaking of the one writing activity into 3, right? I'm fine with that.

yes, my bad, meant to comment. I felt that @jford1906 exploration was exactly what the cooldown needed so I just did a cut-and-paste.
