I think that you did a good job utilizing the format of stations for us to get to see the similarities between the Serbian, Rwandan, and Jewish genocides. Your introduction was delivered well, but could have used some visual aids to nail home the message. I liked the inclusion of the political cartoons depicting Jews in Germany- these were very striking. I think your lesson would have really benefitted, however, from including political cartoons from the other genocides as well. For example, having two cartoons / two primary sources / two aftermath analyses for each. Making the representations of each of the genocides more equal in quantity and quality would have made making the comparisons easier. That being said, I think the topic you chose certainly lent itself to indirect instruction.
Hi Kevin, good job with your micro teaching 2. I like all the different stations you had set up for us. There was a good mix of books and written sources and pictures. I thought the topic you picked was quite thought provoking because of the way you combined the three different genocides. I think there was something new for everyone to learn in your lesson. I certainly learned some new things. You also did a good job with the discussion afterwards. You had well crafted responses and follow up questions prepared that led to a natural discussion between all of us. Great job!
Hey Kevin! I really enjoyed your lesson about the different genocides throughout history. I'm pretty sure that everyone learned something new (I know that I did). I know that we got a little out of order in terms of going from station to station, but you handled that very well. You didn't crack under presser and simply redirected us. I would suggest having put a bit more thought into your stations however. A group of three people being given a history book and told to read it for two minutes is not very engaging. I know that History is a tough topic to work with indirect instruction, but if you had edited your stations to being no more than three pages or so, it would not have been as daunting a task as being given fifteen pages (or even a whole book) to work with. I know that my group eagerly dug into the stations that had more bite-sized bits of information, but became silent and disinterested when given large amounts of information. This made it easy to want to just skip ahead to the next station. That said, I feel you did a great job!
