This week in lab it was all about interest approach. We were able to come up with a "hook" to get out students attention. For my interest approach, I chose to us the bone dance video from Hannah Montanna to introduce the anatomy of livestock. I chose to use this video because it was a fun way for students to see that the bones we have in our body are the same ones found in animals. Also, everyone is familiar with Hannah Montanna!
Looking at lab, I wrote down two gems and one opportunity for improvement. My first gem was the Bone dance video, I chose this because it was relevant and something that students would know. My second gem was how I divided the students up. Each student was given an animal and had to act it out to find their groups. With these two activities, I was able to use all three domains of learning. My opportunity for improvement is working on how I give directions. Sometimes I missed details in directions have to go back and reexplain the directions.
After this week, I am excited to develop more interest approach to get my students hooked on the content!
Manny, you do a much better job of reflecting and sharing your gems/opps for this week! As we move forward, aim to include discussion on how your would improve on your opps to make them into gems, and on any other things you would do to improve the lesson as a whole. You are on the right track!
