Chalk Board
Transcript: Here, the students will also utilize the strategy of Visual Imagery. The teacher will draw diagrams, charts, and other visual aides to help the students learn about the U.S government. Visual Imagery is a quite useful tool in learning brand new information Four students each Two boys, two girls Change tables twice a quarter Sometimes will have silent reading, other times interactive lessons Table Groups When the students use their laptops, they will be required to research sources about political topics, presidents, and other aspects of Democracy. Students will be encouraged to seek out good sources and databases rather than websites like wikipedia and about.com. This will teach the students the critical thinking technique of Hypothesis Testing. Students will have ideas about how the election process works, but in researching the subject (using credible sources), they will verify the accuracy of their understanding. In other words due to the teacher having control of the classroom she also has all the answers. The students will go to the teacher to grow their knowledge or to be affirmed that they are on the right track. The students will acquire procedural knowledge about how to use laptops. Navigating the internet is a very useful skill in this day and age. This knowledge may also transfer, and be applied in other areas of the students' lives. Because the students' levels of metacognition are relatively low, they likely do not know the environment in which they learn best. For most students their working memory will develop completely fine. Other students whose working memory is not developed completely may have Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This can effect their working memory. One of the ways to train their working memory is through computerized programs. This training will happen in this space. For this reason, the teacher will try to accommodate all types of learning. It will vary from interactive table work to silent solo work. This is why the table groups are very effective. After they recieve this information on both political parties they then can grow their knowledge of what they already knew. Thus using the strategy of elaboration. Such attention allows for students to voluntarily shift their goals of a person's information processing to spatial locations or objects Teachers Desk In the table groups, the students will be writing. They will satisfy the core standard by formulating thoughts into essays and other responses to the things that they learn. An example may be an essay on the branches of government. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.5.1.A Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known about the topic to explore ideas under discussion. In this space the students will divide the information among the two campaign parties and see whether or not there are similariteis between them. This uses the strategy of organization. Circle Table Chalkboard Laptops Because this is where the students will be learning most often, this is where their memories will be working most. In a students working memory there is the unit that processes things to remember them, then the phonological loop which rehearses information in verbal form, and lastly visuo-spaitial sketch pad which uses mental pictures to remember information. This helps for reasoning and also the guiding of decision making and behavior. The goal of directing ones attention is driven by ones in charge using different signals to gain the attention of their students. Here is where the teacher will record any and all notes for the class. Students will be required to take notes, and utilize the strategy of rehearsal. This strategy is useful for learning, but not the most effective. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.5.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. Here is where any discussions will be held. We may discuss pros and cons to the democratic election process. Use argument analysis to teach the students about our nation's political system.
