Possible
dates/times: Teachers could arrange a time
that is convenient for both classes.
Learner
Outcomes: What do you expect your learners
to accomplish?
Students as “teachers” will demonstrate
how to build a bridge that will hold a one pound
vehicle. Students as “learners” will
construct a bridge that will hold a one pound vehicle.
Methods
and Activities:
Lecture followed by hands-on activity. The “teaching”
students will show the “learning” students
(via modeling through teleconferencing) how to build
a bridge step by step. Then, the “learning”
students will construct the bridge that they just
watched being built as the “teaching”
students observe, interject, critique. These students
will have a box of materials that are exactly like
what the "teacher" class of students used.
Materials:
Bridge construction material
Handouts showing steps are available through video
conference and not on paper (requiring the learner
group to depend on the teaching group).
The teaching group will also have a finished product
positioned on a document camera that can be viewed
and focused/analyzed as requested.
Time:
90 minutes – 15 minutes setup, 20
minutes modeling how to make it using prepared steps
to save time (teachers), 45 minutes to make (learners).
Students
Will: Create a bridge ahead of time to
show a class who has not made a bridge of that type.
Teachers
Will Do: Prepare classes ahead of time
concerning bridges, stress, construction –
also creating a bridge of a different type ahead
of time (suspension, free standing, etc.)
Agenda
15 min. Setup and introductions
20 min. Students teaching.
45 min. Students building with advice and observation.
This project was created in a small group as part
of the MACUL 2004 Preconference Session Inspiring
Real World Connections with Kids presented
by Debbie Glasgow and Janine Lim. |
