Analytical Tools An analytical tool is meant to be applied to a case, role play or simulation  It cannot alone! Four Worlds = actors & factors Worldviews = Compare multiple perspectives  Use the DEPPP process to follow the logic Levels of Analysis – more factors & variables Concept Map = Relationships & Big Ideas  a visual outline 1) role of individuals & personalities, 2) state behavior & domestic needs, 3) international or systemic conditions of anarchy, balance of power, etc.. Continuum = Ideal Types in Perspective  critical point of reference

Team Activity Plan Bring lesson ideas to meet with your teammates to discuss and complete a Team Activity Plan (TAP) Make it interactive - NOT lectures (use strategies) Remember: –Not every database item is an “activity” –Not every activity is meant for an entire session A good TAP has a mix of analytical tools, cases, and role-plays or simulations TAP! TAP! TAP! See page 5 in your training “packet”  TAP form

Team Activity Plan - TAP Learning Objectives are stated as questions Database Item is your activity: Indicate analytical tools used here -Cases -Simulations -Role Plays Be careful of spelling when writing key concepts on the board

Team Activity Plan! Think-Pair-Share Think individually to generate your own ideas Pair with a partner to discuss and explain Share your partner’s ideas with the class Great way to start discussions! Pro tip: set a timer so partners can quickly distill their ideas to a few main points and communicate efficiently Strategies! Group Work Jigsaw, Roles, Divide & Conquer Circulate! Team members need to walk around the class to check how groups are doing, interact and get to know students’ names

Team Activity Plan! More Strategies! Use cold-calling to foster participation (especially after group work) Relate topics to students’ lives – Make connections! Ask students to create nametags and use them! Don’t oversimplify – Try to identify what students already know and build from there

“doc” is the student handout Use the guide to create your “teaching copy” that is marked up with your notes: who will do which parts, timing, key concepts, etc. The team must print one copy of the doc & one copy of the guide For each item on your Team Activity Plan - TAP

Student Handout Bring one copy of the student handout “version” of each or your activities. Team Advisement Meeting Your copy of the handouts is the “master” that you will turn in to the office for CALIS to make your copies.

Print out the guide version of the activity Then, mark it with your own teaching notes Teaching Copy

Team Activity Plan!

Brian Bruin Notre Dame Tom Trojan Feedback scores do not affect credit score!!!

Hi to you especially Teresa Hudock -- I wanted to let all of you know that I will be retiring this year. Thanks for the many USC students you sent my way. I believe many of them had a positive impact on the students. Professor Lamy must be thanked also for realizing the importance of the link between high school and college… All the best to you and the program. Try to keep it fresh and not just another burdensome requirement. The past years I noticed some students were just going through the motions and really did not want much contact with the teenagers. Then, of course, there were dedicated students with big hearts. Your program has made a difference in my classroom over many years. Thanks again. Jackie O’Dell

Last day to register to the Fall 2016 Webboard is Sept 22 at 5:00 p.m.

Report Guidelines Start your report by stating the learning objective for the session as a focus question The report must be at least 500 words (not including a title, name, heading, etc.) Each report is reviewed by CALIS staff and is evaluated based on content –Include at least 3 specific examples of students’ participation The report is due THREE CALENDAR DAYS after the session – you lose points for lateness

What makes a great report? “When asked why the court ruling in the Dutch case is significant, a student correctly pointed out the term that we introduced earlier in the class: legal precedent; the student understood that this case set legal precedent for future cases regarding climate change.” “One student was trying to add to the social world and said ‘public opinion about the government’. We pushed him to go deeper, ‘how is that related to the social world though? Wouldn't that be political? What does low opinion of the government lead to?’, the response: ‘well maybe social unrest, or rioting?’”

Things NOT to Include in Your Report Do not include commentary or observations You will be asked to delete & re-write when you mention: Example: “I did have a student whose sole contribution was along the lines of “Z z z” snoring from the start till the bell rang at the end of the day.” Traffic The check-in process Student behavior School/classroom appearance
