Drawing Conclusions explores the use of juxtaposed visual
representations (JVRs) to help preservice teachers grapple with
abstract concepts, theories, or complex controversies in education.
Acting as both a learning tool and an intellectual spark, JVRs are
two simple contrasted sketches that students produce on a divided
sheet of paper. In these drawings, students attempt to visually
represent contrasting ideas that the class is struggling to
understand (such as code-meshing versus code-switching, descriptive
versus prescriptive grammar, peer response versus peer editing).
JVRs are powerful tools for the teacher education classroom because
they employ active learning and scaffold pedagogical strategies,
act as a low-stakes but important formative assessment tool, help
students grapple with complex literary and critical theories, and
aid in reorganizing and revising a long writing project.Book
Features: Offers a method for pushing students to higher-order
thinking in just a few minutes, helping them analyze critical
concepts in English education, writing studies, linguistics,
literacy, English Language Arts, and related fields. Outlines how
to use JVRs to encourage students to think in a wider dimension, to
use different parts of their brain, and to awaken different
neurons. Provides multiple examples of JVRs to help instructors
adapt this intellectually stimulating heuristic to their own
classrooms.
