Post a reply message
to Dr. Figg's comment (remember to click on Dr. Figg's message and
then click on the Reply button) in the Activity Structure Discussion
Board on Blackboard. Your message should do the following:
- You have used three
activity structures: a linklist, scavenger hunt, and collecting
resources treasure hunt. Read through the article, "A
Conversation with Dr. Figg" (Word document) and then
review the other activity structures
for this portfolio (look under the columns for WWW, Email, and
Word).
- Post a brief statement
(at least 3-5 sentences long) that describes how you would incorporate
one of the other activity structures (vocabulary bingo, acrostic
poetry, puzzlemaker, photo journal, question & answer activities,
keypals, telementoring, impersonations) into a "direct teach"
lesson plan model that we will be using this semester.
- Your statement
should demonstrate that you understand what the structure
is and how to use it correctly in lesson design. Be
sure to clearly state:
- the content
or broad learning objective for the lesson
- Whether the
activity structure you choose is part of the focus, developmental,
or evaluative activities
- A brief description
of how you see the other activities in the lesson evolving
- Post this statement
to the Activity Structure Discussion Board as a new thread.
Your statement might
look something like this:
The linklist used in this portfolio would make an excellent focus
for a direct teach lesson on volcanoes. The students would be placed
in groups of three or four with the instructions to find three interesting
facts about volcanoes by visiting the sites on the linklist. The
linklist would list three sites related to volcanoes and together
the students would investigate the sites, collect their three interesting
pieces of information, and be ready to report back to the group
with their findings. The lesson would continue with a demonstration
of a model of a working volcano and a PowerPoint presentation that
explains how a volcano works. The evaluation activity would
have students participate in a discussion of the important concepts
behind how a volcano works and brainstorm as a group how they could
create a volcano in class. The assessment activity would include
the students drawing a model of a volcano. |
