The Giving Tree By Shel Silverstein
Once there was a tree. . .
and she loved a little boy.
And every day the boy would come
and he would gather leaves
. And make them into crowns and play king of the forest
He would climb up her trunk
and swing from her branches
and eat apples.
And they would play hide and go seek.
ZZ Z And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade.
And the boy loved the tree. . .
very much And the tree was happy. .
But time went by.
And the boy grew older.
And the tree was often alone.
Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree said : “Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat apples and play in my shade and be happy. ”
“I am too big to climb and play, ” said the boy. “I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money. Can you give me some money? ”
“I’m sorry, ” said the tree, “but I have no money. I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in the city. Then you will have money and you will be happy. ”
And so the boy climbed up the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away. And the tree was happy. . .
But the boy stayed away for long time. . . and the tree was sad. And then one day the boy came back and the tree shock with joy and she said, “Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy. ”
“I am too busy to climb trees, ” said the boy. “I want a house to keep me warm, ” he said. “I want a wife and I want children, and so I need a house. Can you give me a house? ”
“I have no house, ” said the tree. “The forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy. ”
And so the boy cut off her branches and carried them away to build his house.
And the tree was happy. . .
But the boy stayed away for a long time. And when he came back, the tree was so happy she could hardly speak. “Come, Boy, ” she whispered, “come and play. ” “I am too old and sad to play, ” said the boy. “I want a boat that will Take me far away from here. Can you give me a boat? ” “Cut down my trunk and make a boat, ” said the tree. “Than you can sail away… and be happy. ”
And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away.
And the tree was happy. . . but not really
And after a long time the boy came back again. “I am sorry, Boy, ” said the tree, “but I have nothing left to give you, my apples are gone. ” “My teeth are too weak for apples, ” said the boy. “My branches are gone, ” said the tree. “You cannot swing on them” “I am too old to swing on branches, ” said the boy. “My trunk is gone, ” said the tree. “You cannot climb” “I am to tired to climb, ” said the boy.
“I am sorry, ” sighed the tree. “I wish that I could give you something… But have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry…” “I don’t need very much now, ” said the boy, “just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired. ” “Well, ” said the tree, straightening herself up as she could, “well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down and rest. ” And the boy did.
And the tree was happy. . .

Responses
Affinity Groups Participants form a group with those individuals with a similar response to the topic. What is your pedagogy? Is it similar?
Pedagogy
Modes of Transportation Draw different modes of transportation on a sheet of paper or use an appropriate picture: UFO, train, bus, car, bicycle, skateboard (one form of transportation per paper). Put them in the middle and then read the rest of the instructions. The Rest of the Instructions Choose which mode of transport best represents how you feel about teaching this week. Explain why.
Frierian Fish Bowl Everyone writes how they feel about teaching this week and why and puts it in a hat. This gets passed around and someone chooses a paper and responds to it.
Who am I as a teacher? Write ten answers to this question on a piece of paper then read the rest of the instructions. The Rest of the Instructions Cross three of the least important ones off and explain why they can be removed then read The Rest of The Instructions Cross three more off and come down to four. Then explain why these are the four most important ones for you.
Make a sound that expresses how you are feeling about teaching right now The group copies that sound The next person adds their sound. The group copies that sound and the previous sound. Continue until the group has made their sounds. Go round and repeat your sound and explain why

• Identify a critical incident of your own from recent weeks. Write it in the middle of the sheet • Think about possible factors which affect this incident; why did it happen this way? Could it be seen differently from different perspectives? • What could you do about each of these factors? Are they all of the same importance? • What might happen if you try to change them? What best to do next? RECAP
Reflexive practice involves thinking more critically about themselves, their assumptions, actions, and situations they encounter; to see multiple interpretations and constructions of reality RECAP (Cunliffe, 2004 pp 407 -426) http: //www. eten-online. org/img/publications/ETEN%2017%20 proceedings. pdf#page=135

RECAP A belief is an idea you no longer question Thomas (2004))
The term Belief generally refers to acceptance of a proposition for which there is no conventional knowledge, one that is not demonstrable, and for which there is accepted disagreement RECAP (Woods 1996: 195)
RECAP Teachers’ beliefs about learning will affect everything they do in the classroom … deep-rooted beliefs. . . will pervade their classroom actions more than a particular methodology they are told to adopt or course-book they follow. Williams and Burden 1997: 57 http: //www. prodait. org/resources/cr_on_teaching. pdf
Belief ‘I set homework and the students don’t do it’ QUESTION IT: all pupils? Which ones? Value to some? Feelings of failure if not imposed? Authority challenged? RECAP Reframed If I set homework I feel like a failure Underlying fears
For Brookfield, critical reflection is important for some of the following reasons: 1. to increase the probability that teachers will take informed actions – those that can be explained and justified to self and others; RECAP 2. to enable teachers to provide a rationale behind their practice which can be crucial to establishing credibility with student; 3. to avoid self-laceration - believing that the teacher is to blame if students are not learning; 4. to ground teachers emotionally; 5. to enliven the classroom by making it challenging, interesting and stimulating for students; 6. to increase democratic trust as a result of the examples and modeling conveyed by the teacher, thereby allowing students to learn democratic behavior and a moral tone.
Brookfield (1995) US RECAP COLLEAGUES STUDENTS THEORY
US RECAP Self talk the component of emotional intelligence that frees us from being a prisoner of our own feelings. Goleman (2002, p. 57)
Context The Choosing We were first equal Mary and I with the same coloured ribbons in mouse-coloured hair, and with equal shyness we curtseyed to the lady councillor for copies of Collins’s Children Classics. First equal, equally proud. Best friends too Mary and I a common bond in being cleverest(equal) in our small school’s small class. I remember the competition for top desk or to read aloud the lesson at school service. And my terrible fear of her superiority at sums. I remember the housing scheme Where we both stayed. The same house, different homes, where the choices were made. I don’t know exactly why they moved, but anyway they went. Something about a three-apartment and a cheaper rent. But from the top deck of the high school bus I’d glimpse among the others on the corner Mary’s father, mufflered, contrasting strangely with the elegant greyhounds by his side. He didn’t believe in high school education, especially for girls, or in forking out for uniforms. Ten years later on a Saturday. I am coming home from the librarysitting near me on the bus, Mary with a husband who is tall, curly haired, has eyes for no one else but Mary. Her arms are round the full-shaped vase that is her body. Oh, you can see where the attraction lies in Mary’s lifenot that I envy her, really. And I am coming from the library with my arms full of books. I think of the prizes that were ours for the taking and wonder when the choices got made we don’t remember making. Liz Lochhead RECAP

Hitchikers guide to the galaxy
Harry stared at the stone basin. The contents had returned to their original, silvery white state, swirling and rippling beneath his gaze. “ What is it? ” Harry asked shakily. “This? It is called a Pensieve, ” said Dumbledore. “ I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind. ” “Err, ” said Harry who couldn’t truthfully say that he had ever felt anything of the sort. “At these times” said Dumbledore, indicating the stone basin, “ I use the Penseive. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’ s mind, pours them into a basin, and examines them at one’ s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form. ’ ( Rowling 2000)
• slows down activities • enables learners to develop greater ‘ownership’ of the material of learning • fosters ‘metacognition’ • improves students’ cognitive ability https: //dajan. wordpress. com/2009/10/29/re adingnotesonmoon/
‘Thought affords the sole method of escape from purely impulsive or purely routine action. A being without capacity for thought is moved only by instincts and appetites, as these are called forth by outward conditions and the inner state of the organism. A being thus moved is, as it were, pushed from behind. ’ (Dewey 1933: 15)
“We do not learn from experience…we learn from reflecting on experience. ” John Dewey
Stage 1: Noticing Stage 2: Making sense Stage 3: Making meaning ask questions and to connect ideas together. Stage 4: Working with meaning The student makes links with other ideas and events. At this point, reflection on the learning is likely to be taking place. Stage 5: Transformative learning The student has reached the point where they can formulate new ideas of their own. They know what they would do if a similar situation arose in the future. Mc. Drury and Alterio (2003).
• Reflection - a sense of ownership of the material of learning – relating ideas more effectively to our previous knowledge (Rogers, 1969). • Students who achieve well are more often students who are aware of their own learning processes – their weaknesses and strengths (Ertmer and Newby, 1996). • Metacognition is directly associated with employability by Yorke (2004).
