The PowerPoint activity was very frustrating it did not take into account what people had access to or allow for creative difference. I had non linguistic representation to reflect on. "Learners store knowledge in two primary ways: linguistic and non linguistic. They need both.(Marzano, Pickering and Pollock 2001)." This did do some non linguist representation by add pictures instead of just words to the PowerPoint and colorful text and background. It would have been more helpful if the directions were the same way. The directions were also confusing and so needed to be read twice maybe more. It was ironic that what we were creating was a great learning tool but the way we were learning to make it was very one dimensional. Another suggestion would be to have us work in groups. We were not allowed to ask our partners questions. In the reading it says to "have students work in small group when creating visual representations... discussion will help them communicate and refine their thinking." And last section is the assignment could have been modeled showing us how to use the tools would keep everyone on the same page. "Models, graphs, imagery, and other tools enable students to engage in actively constructing representations of their understanding."
