Today my colleagues taught a lesson on Energy and Renewable energy. They did an awesome job! They started their direct lesson off with pictures of different energy sources, in which the students had to choose which type of energy it was. They did a great job of presenting information and introducing vocabulary terms, especially with having the students repeating chorally. Their checks for understanding techniques were effective as they used the thumbs up/down method. Their guided practice was creative and different as they incorporated a Jeopardy game, which the students enjoyed very much. Their inquiry lesson started off in a clever way with the "Breaking News" video. They did a great job of introducing the problem and modeling/demonstrating the inquiry process and windmill making project. They provided an abundant amount of materials to support the students' experiment and data collection. They did a great job of helping the students fill out their investigation reports and loved how they brought the children together as whole, so they could share their finding with one another. I thought writing a letter to the mayor was not only different, but another clever idea. The students were very engaged with these lessons and had fun experimenting. Overall, group 4 you had great teacher voices, time management skills, and very creative ideas. Your lessons were a huge success, congrats!
An interesting video campaign I found on Energy Sources, check it out!
