Scene 1
When thinking of the things that interest students and might help in the development of intrinsic motivation. Activity such as trips to a local museum or aquarium might help to spark an interest in the student in sciences or aquaculture. One might also develop a play to go along with a book that is assign for a reading, and let the kids develop a story line on their own. Another activity that help in developing interest in developing math skills for students own benefits maybe to follow the stock market and set up make believe accounts to see who would be the biggest winner or loser over the month.
Scene 2
Any time that you get an expert advice before you develop a lesson plan it give you fresh look at an area that might not of come to mind. Having some new and exciting ideas in your lesson plan may just help to instill a greater desire for the students themselves to want to learn. Such activity that the expertise is involved save having to use your students as Ginny pigs with a trial and error methodology. Students have a tendency to get bored with the same old routine so a fresh set of eyes or idea will not only help the student, but also the instructor.
Scene 3
The use of the graphic organizers would help the students by reaching a high level of the cognitive domain of learning. By making the students actually look at the story line an organizing the characters, as well as the hidden meaning of the pictures that illustrate the book each student will begin to develop a higher understanding of the material in the lesson plan. Oscar also will be helped by being able to pull the meaning of the story out of the pictures instead of the small print which is so hard for him to see.
Scene 4
Working with the web the wealth of information that needs to be culled through can be over whelming and time consuming. The use of “quotation marks” can help to limit the scope of the search. Searching through info from reliable sources such as university or government sponsored cites can help with reliability issues. The use of meta-search engines will also help with the retrieval of material.
Sence5
Group learning helps everyone involved when all participate everyone gets everyone’s point of view and more than likely they all can be different. Questions that come up are some of the same but some students are too embarrassed to ask. The reading expert also helps not just Oscar, but everyone gets the benefit of her expertise. Oscar defiantly benefited from the experience if nothing else to build his confidents that he can be included in the regular class not just his special ed. Activities that seems to isolate some students.
Scene 6
By using the web to do the research this allowed the students to be independent on the way they learn about the author. By incorporating the I moves enhanced the desire for al the students to do a much better job on the project as a whole. Using the video instead of reading also help to keep all the students involved even Oscar.
