Mini Presentations

After hearing everyone's mini presentations about how their unit plan went. I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one that difficulties with it. A lot of my classmates had problems with time management and organizing the lessons in the correct order. I would have never thought that thinking maps could be used as instructional strategies.

The one person that stood out to me was Dakota when he mention not knowing the time of day the lesson being taught and how that would effect the his unit and the activities. I really like the power point that was used. I thought it was well put together power point. I really liked what Debbie said about starting early because the amount of time it takes. I have to say I spent weeks on it and I'm not completely happy with it. Everyone made some great point to tonight.

Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan Design

     The Madeline Hunter lesson plan is a seven parts, that include objectives, standards, anticipatory set, teaching [input, modeling, and check for understanding], guided practice, closure, and independent practice. I find this plan easy to follow because it breaks it down into simple steps. There are several things I find difficult with this lesson plan design. The first being research- based strategies because I need to get more comfortable using then in my lesson. The next being extension and modification because I find it difficult to come up with them without having knowledge of the education level of students.  I know that it just takes practice when writing lesson plans, so I'm excited to get better at it. That is why I love these courses because I get a chance to learn new things.

Fun Ways to Teach Vocabulary

http://theteachaholic.blogspot.com/2012/03/word-catchers.html The first fun way to teach vocabulary is to do something called the word catchers. Where the teacher asked the student if they have heard any word catchers for today. The student must tell the teacher when/where they hear/saw the word and give the word in the context in which they encountered it. When the student uses a current or past word they get a reward. This would be a great tool to use to get students really excited to learn different vocab words. As we all know learning Vocabulary can be very boring. The second fun way to teach vocabulary is to have students draw the words to help them learn it. Drawing really helps students visualize the words being taught and helps them with comprehension. I think it important that teachers let the students be creative with their drawings and have them make a funny picture because this will make the vocabulary more meaningful when they get to have a little bit of fun....
