Since everyone had such a hard time last class, we started by watching this from 0:23 to 0:55 over and over and over. There was productive discussion. It helped. I will start with this and a discussion next time, maybe…I am struggling finding the balance of “helping” that results in productive struggle.
In some classes I also played the video of one of Fawn’s students explaining her thought process from her post on this activity. Most students were confused by this, and focused on her nail polish. I probably will not include this next time.
