Print out artifacts ahead of time and arrange them in no particular order around the room. Sometimes artifacts may include video clips. Set up devices with links ready in the room. Participants will walk around and quietly read, skim, or watch each artifact. You can encourage them to use a pen and a note catcher to take notes if there is something that stands out to them.
- Round 1:
- Walk around the room and quietly read or skim artifacts. (5 minutes)
- Written reflection: What do you see in these artifacts? What resonates with you? What does not? Why? (3 minutes)
- Round 2:
- Walk around the room and quietly read. Watch, or skim artifacts. (5 minutes)
- In pairs: Make a connection between your own experience in the classroom and what you see here. (6 minutes)
- Round 3:
- Walk around the room and quietly read or skim artifacts. (5 minutes)
- In small groups: In what ways do these artifacts make you think differently about your students and/or your role in your school? (6 minutes)
- If there is time, large group share out. A couple thoughts on what people saw and what resonated as they think about their students and/or school.
