I NOW CALL THESE VISUAL ESSAYS AS THE ASSIGNMENT HAS GROWN AND TAKEN ON A NEW AND EXCITING LIFE OF ITS OWN!!!
❶ VISUAL NOTETAKING LECTURE SERIES (PLATO'S THEAETETUS)
The purpose of this product is to provide the material to those interested in a more difficult reading but one that is still manageable. The results for my VNT on the Platonic dialogues have been so successful that I wanted to share the material and provide enough information that those not familiar with the dialogue could still use it with success.
In all of my first year undergraduate classes, I employ Visual Notetaking as a way to engage my students in the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. I always find this assignment rewarding for my students - a helpful way to study, a different type of assignment, a way to engage visual learners, and I am always surprised by their work.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE PURCHASED MY VNT PRODUCT, SO I DID NOT INCLUDE THE VNT INFORMATION HERE. THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT.
Included in this product are the following:
⚫ An excerpt from Plato’s Theaetetus. The Theaetetus is one of the Platonic dialogues that I do my VNT assignment on - I also lecture on Plato’s Republic, Apology, Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra, and excerpts from Thucydides. I will be creating VNT text specific lectures in the coming months. This is the first in this series.
⚫ The Theaetetus is an excellent text to study alongside The Velveteen Rabbit, The Little Prince, 1984, Catch 22, and other novels that question the existence of truth.
⚫ The Theaetetus is particularly important today in a world of fake news, alternative facts, and gaslighting. The question at the center of the dialogue regards the question of knowledge and does it exist.
⚫ There are 17 pages of the dialogue included here. The dialogue may be found online and is in the public domain. I have included these pages for convenience sake and only included the pages that I cover during my VNT lecture. These are just the pages without notes. I have a HOTS unit on Plato’s Theaetetus that provides notes on this section of the text. You will find it here:
⚫ 4 samples of VNT during a Socratic Seminar: I do a VNT trial run during my Socratic Seminar. While in the outer circle students engage in VNT.
⚫ 6 Student examples VNT: I use student examples from previous semesters to help my class understand my expectations.
⚫ An introduction to the Theaetetus.
⚫ An explanation of how I use VNT in my classroom.
❷ VISUAL NOTETAKING - RUBRIC AND STUDENT EXAMPLES
In all of my first year undergraduate classes, I employ Visual Notetaking as a way to engage my students in the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. I always find this assignment rewarding for my students - a helpful way to study, a different type of assignment, a way to engage visual learners, and I am always surprised by their work.
In order for your students to excel in this activity, they need to see examples and understand how they will be graded. Provided here is a beautiful rubric for visual notetaking using visual notetaking. Furthermore, there are 22 examples from my own lectures.
Included in this product are the following:
► NEW: This year I was asked to give a talk on VNT at an event at my University called Celebrate! Teaching and Learning (“an event for faculty, staff, and students to share significant moments, or sources of inspiration, from their teaching and learning experiences at the University”). The talk went very well, and I have included some information from the event including my VNT process in 16 points.
► NEW: A new addition to my assignment. An explanation as to the elements used in the VNT. You will see an example of this in my pictures of the library display.
► NEW: I now do a VNT trail run during my Socratic Seminar. While in the outer circle they engage in VNT. I have included 8 samples of these assignments.
► A rubric that shows students what is expected in their finished product. It provides a beautiful guide in the form of visual notetaking.
► The points from the visual notetaking rubric that can be handed out to students.
► Student examples - I use student examples from previous semesters to help my class understand my expectations. There are 14 included - my examples are from my lectures on various Great Books: Nietzsche, Plato, and Thucydides. I have some TpT products that cover the same or similar material that is used during my lectures for these projects - see the last slide for details. I have also started to create TpT products for the lectures I give for the VNT project. This will be posted soon.
