A Lesson I Taught Well
Actually, it was a lesson that the students taught well. The unit was on the integumentary system. This is one of my least favorite units so I thought I would change things up a bit. My second level class is only 14 students so I divided them up into groups of 3-4. I gave them different sections of the unit to look up certain questions and/or subjects and have them prepare a lesson on that section. I let them creative in how they wanted to present the information but I did require that they create some type of notes to be given to the other students for reference. I think everyone had fun doing it and I wasn't as bored because I got to see how creative my students could be.
Hi, Donna - good for you for involving your students in this manner. This lesson should also give them the opportunity to present information to others in a meaningful and effective way, which is something they will have to do as professionals. Your creativity led to theirs - keep on thinking on how to mix things up!
