Taking a look at the Cognitive Point of View
Chapter 9 Reflection
This chapter was filled with information about a variety of learning strategies that are used at different times and for several subjects. I was surprised when I read about the CAPS reading strategy because I recently taught this strategy to a group of fifth graders who had difficulty with comprehension and problem solving skills. I enjoyed my experience while teaching this strategy and while reading about it, giving me the opportunity to reflect on my past field work experience. It was nice to see all of the different heuristics that tag along throughout this chapter. Most of the strategies, I think I would see myself using in my future classroom like the working-backward strategy.
My Experience with Create, Evaluate, and Relate in Chapter 9
Create: Concept Transfer
The mathematical activity that I would plan to do in pairs would be egg carton multiplication. The numbers are listed from 1 - 12 in each egg carton and two pom poms are placed into the egg carton. Each player will shake the egg carton while it is closed. When they open the egg carton, they will multiply the two numbers where the pom poms landed. This is a math activity that helps the students with their multiplication skills without relying on flash cards or other “plain” tools. This activity will capture the students attention and engage them into a different learning experience that will entertain them while they learn.
Evaluate: Finding Lesson Plans
What websites did you find?
What are the strengths of these websites? What are the weaknesses?
The strengths of these websites is that all of these websites provide lesson plans and several resources that can be used for teaching different material. All of these websites list lessons that range in ages, grades, and subjects. A weakness of these websites is that for access to some of the materials or utensils, the lesson plans are not free. I think that it's not fair for other teachers to charge others for lesson plan templates when in reality, a teacher is charging for the material, style, and design that is printed out on the paper. The prices range up to five dollars or more sometimes and I find that to be outrageous.
Who created these lesson plans? Is there any way to submit feedback to find out about the success of the lesson plans?
The creators of these lesson plans are retired teachers, educators, or teachers that are still in the work field now. Each of these websites have a rating system of 5 stars and a space to provide comments of the lessons to the authors of each lesson which is open to other customers who are interested in downloading, performing, or purchasing the lesson plans.
