Module 7 Activity 4
 This activity took a while for me to sort out in my head. I knew I wanted the students to complete a project on 'dogs' - mammals. I did not know how I should state the project. There is a huge problem of stray dogs in the area. On the little stretch of road, there are four (4) school. All the schools share the same problem. The students' curriculum deals with classification of animals. I therefore decided to make the project be a one where they would use the information in science, language and social studies.

Module 7 Activity 3

Working on this activity was a bit frustrating at times for I had to teach myself to write on the whiteboard. I can see me using this tool with my students and hope I get a chance to use it. I also got to realize that I had been using critical thinking in my classroom all along but I do not think I have been using it enough. I plan to use this strategy more.

Module 7 Activity 2

There are times when you have a task to complete that is so simple and you make it hard. Before I started this activity I was not sure what to do, but as i progressed through the exercise I kept wondering if I may have read too much into the activity.

Module 7 Activity 1
The first activity was not difficult at all. I guess it is because I am beginning to realise (through the help of this course) that the world is changing and as a teacher< I need to change if I am to keep up.
