Understanding the creative JuxtaLearn process

First, I’ll outline the JuxtaLearn performance process

Juxta-Learn context
Step #
Action
Who (actors)
Notes
1: diagnosis & feedback
1
Identify the tricky topic (TT)
Teacher
 
2
Identify the stumbling blocks (SB) of the TT
 
3
Create the example teaching activity (ETA)
 
2: creative juxta-positioning
4
Choose a SB to work with
Students
 
5
Find the characters of the ETA
These two steps of finding character & setting can be in either order
6
Find the settings(s) of the ETA
7
Choose a stumbling block
 
8
Explore the storyline of the stumbling block
 
9
Create juxtaposing characters
These two steps of creating character & setting can be in either order
10
Create juxtaposing settings
11
Create a storyline that relates the juxtaposing characters & settings
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hence,
ETA
Juxtaposed performance
Characters
Juxtaposed characters
Setting
Juxtaposed setting
Storyline
Juxtaposed storyline

For example,
ETA
 
Juxtaposed performance
 
Characters
Molecular values of water and carbon dioxide
Juxtaposed characters
Mrs Mole and her blobby friends in  green plasticine
Setting
Laboratory containers
Juxtaposed setting
Bell jars
Storyline
Process of titration or calculation of moles depending on stumbling block
Juxtaposed storyline
Narrative comparison of molecular size and weights

Now the students can plan the story scenes on their storyboard
