Week 3 Missions

 

Mission 1, Days 1-3: Map out chapter 1

 

Steve Jobs used to map out his ideas and presentations on paper and napkins. He'd draw the slides and elements he wanted to include (Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs).  In this way, he could visualize the end. For your 1st chapter, we want you to brainstorm in the method of your choosing. Create a framework then flesh it out with possible activities, sections, headers, images, charts, word banks, readings, listening exercises, etc. that you'd like to include. You aren't committed to this, we just want you to envision the type of chapter you'd like to write. Design with your students in mind. Try not to just stick to what you know from the typical textbook. Use some of those elements but implement other ideas. 

Here are your peers' week 3 outlines, http://ebookevo.pbworks.com/w/page/92118903/wk3mindmaps

 

1st. Map out your first chapter.  Try any of these recommended tools from the Listly board or do it on paper or a word processor as long as it is online somewhere for your peers to view it. Create a basic outline/skeleton of what information and topics you'd like to include in the first chapter. We recommend Google Docs for this mission, but feel free to use another tool as long as this is posted online for peers to view. 

 

2nd. Post your chapter 1 outline to the Google Community in the Wk 3 thread. Use the hashtag #Wk3EbookMap

 

3rd. Comment on your peers' outlines.


4th. Continue working on filling out chapter 1 for next week.
