Barbara and Darryl,
Thanks a lot for your replies, it is greatly appreciated.
The descriptions were taken from the FOSIL cycle pages and I compiled this table to help me explain the stages.
I enjoyed collaborating with Camille as her teaching perspective focused on the educational aims for instance, her idea to use three FOSIL phases meant we all had time to complete the task in the time given. Her continuous support, formidable efficiency as well as her communicative high spirits at all times kept the motivation high. I do think teachers had a great start and the seed seems to continue growing as one of our workshop team member recently mentioned he was looking at the link re FOSIL and Math, and we’ll be using the model in one of our Media Literacy projet with my colleague in charge of the subject in year 9.
Thank you so much for your message, I look forward to continuing our conversation too.
