SLR is not kids saying this:


Do we have to write this down? Is this for marks? Mr. Stipp (whiny voice), you missed this mistake on my resume!

Self-regulated learning is not this

Self-regulated learners deliberately seek clarity of the learning purposes.

They activate their brains by connecting to prior knowledge.

They use various personalized strategies to understand the subject matter and to complete assignments.

They constantly assess and monitor their actions and progress on the task

When confused, they use personalized fix-it strategies to get back on track.

Its a mindset
NOT Im here to stay out of trouble/ pass/ get an A/ not get embarrassed/ prove Im smart and I need to be told what to do and how to do it. INSTEAD Im here to learn because it matters to me and I know how to learn and will take responsibility of my learning by constantly asking myself: Whats the best way for me to learn right now?

Read this poem and try to make sense of it.


He hangs from beam in winter upside down But in the spring he right side up lets go And flutters and there zigzagly flown Till chimney of the house quick-slow He pendulum-spirals out in light low Of sunset swinging out above the lawns Gathering sinking insects sag downflow Returning as the light on green world dawns And down the chimney disappears nimble To the cellar where they catch mice with a thimble.

What my kids said about selfregulated learningwhy Im learning I dont always understand
something like with Macbeth, but I try to make it be realistic and somehow relate to something I enjoy like the holocaust/ Nazi Germany. With socials, Im usually always writing codes and making cue-cards. With WW I and WW Ii I would even research more about it online to increase my level of engagement. I use the pre-learning tools. This helps me by opening drawers and making connections to what I already know. I think self-regulated learning could change my life if I wasnt so lazy.

The lesson we had on self-regulated learning was most motivating to me so I dont always use the tools. I just think of ways to take the topic more seriously. Some of the tools Ive created have been putting sticky notes in novels, reading the text and making my own version of the notes and reviewing everyday for at least hour. It pushed me to be more curious outside of school and Ive even watched snippets of CPAC. Using powertools really helps me learn and has changed my attitude towards school because it helps me stay engaged and interested in the material.

This is the first year that I have enjoyed learning, and I discovered that it wasnt because the material was better but it was because I learned to engage my brain. The minute I engaged my brain the lessons became interesting and I want to learn. Through every unit in SS this year I have wanted to suck all the knowledge I can get, out of the class. The power tools have been a huge help for me and my attitude towards school has

Define perfunctory in your learning log


Sometimes students do their work in a perfunctory fashion. Perfunctory means to do something routinely with little interest.

My name is Maria Sanchez. I live in a favela, or poor area, in a city on the east coast of Brazil. It is a shantytown, but almost 120,000 poor Brazilians live here. Our homes are shacks or huts, made from leftover material. The town is built on the side of a hill and is a source of cheap labour for nearby neighbourhoods where rich people live. My husband and I did not go to school beyond grade four. Because we have few skills, both of us are employed in very low-paying jobs even though we work long hours. The only place we can afford to live is this shantytown. Northey, Nichol, and Case. Editors. Brazilian Rain Forest. (Vancouver: The Critical Thinking Consortium, 2002), 9
