**T&L Profile Podcast**
[|Wendy Corbly's Teaching and Learning Podcast]  Good podcast. I'm glad to hear (no pun intended) that the surveys have assisted you in taking a second look at your emphasis on verbal directions. Sometimes we do forget that students really are trying ... we're just not being effective in the way that we're conveying the information. Keep us informed on how you are going to adjust your information sharing with those non-auditory students. Dr. T

Teacher preparation requirements –The teacher will need to have gone through and followed each guest and made a timeline to use for assessment. The teacher will also need to make sure each student has a journal for note taking and a writing utensil. Before beginning make sure the links are up and running.

Procedure – A. Students will read up on the facts of the Titanic using the first website listed. B. Students will listen to all of the guests on the second website listed and make predictions in their journals about each of their lives. C. Students will use the third website to read about some interesting facts on the Titanic. D. Students will get into 4-5 groups and discuss their journal predictions and what really happened on the Titanic. E. Students will create a time line for one of the guests that they followed.

Assessment – The first day the teacher needs to make sure that the students are completely tuned in to the basic facts about the Titanic. The second day, the teacher will make sure the group is in a quiet room and again, teacher is just monitoring them. The real assessment will be based on their note taking, journals, and the final time line. The time line will be the main assessment.

Wendy, Nice story, good pictures, too. It was hard to hear you at times. Make sure that the microphone settings on your computer are a little higher. Boy, those chicks are ugly when they first pop out of the shell. :-) Dr. T
