WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED (AND SHOULDN’T HAVE LEARNED)

Reflecting on the course content and activities

EDUC W200 Week 15

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN W200

Think-Pair-Share:If you had to tell an incoming freshman what

they’ll learn in w200, what would you tell them. What have you LEARNED (not what have I taught you)?

Then, each group should share with the rest of the class

We will create a brainstorming list on the board
