Meeting #3

Fauzi's idea of incorporating the video to assess their eventual learning was well-received. We thought it was an excellent way to make the assignment more interesting. It also gives us the opportunity to turn this assignment into a inquiry and project based learning where a final deliverable or product will be expected from the students. With a product, teachers may then have a more concrete way to assess their learning. It also gives the assignment a form of direction that the students can adhere to and follow.


We discussed possible ways in which the video could be incorporated into this assignment. After much deliberation we have decided that it should be the final product that students will need to submit for their overall grading and assessment. The video will need to portray their own personal opinion or interpretation of the event which they will first share with the class prior to it. What will be filmed is their group's acting in portraying their historical interpretations. This is in line with one of our objectives of trying to educate students on the way history is often presented and the agenda that tends to accompany it.


This meeting had us finalising all details of the lesson idea so that we may begin on the Powerpoint Package and the Powerpoint Presentation. We also discussed and finalised the way we would like to carry out the presentation and tasked different members with different parts of the presentation. We unanimously decided that due to our increasingly busy schedule and work committment, we should make use of online meeting more often through MSN rather than physical meeting.
