Activity 3.3 Preparing weaves (Wed-Thu)

Summaries take us only so far. Sometimes, at the meeting point of messages with shared or opposing themes there is a glimmer of gold. Sometimes, these new or surprising insights can help to re-ignite a dying discussion.

Purpose: Practicing weaving discussions

Task:

1. Read the advice from Gilly Salmon on ‘ How to weave’ . Then you may want to consult an example of a weave of the Week 1 Reflections. This appears at the beginning of the ‘Preparing weaves’ topic in the week 3 forum.
2. Start by preparing a micro-weave of elements from three discussion postings. Use this to lead into a question that may open a further stage of conversation. Then try for a complex weave of a whole discussion topic. Post your weaves to the Preparing Weaves topic. Post your weaves to the ‘Preparing weaves’ topic.
3. Now share your reflections about your experience of preparing a weave and the different styles of weaving that you observe across the group in the forum.

Tools: Discussion forum

When: Week 3, Wednesday – Thursday
