Final Project
Create a brain based unit that you will use after this class that incorporates ideas from the book and others students. Keep in mind the eigth Multiple Intelligences as you design the lessons, and especially the assessment. If you want more information on Multiple Intelligences let me know and I will send you a packet that I put together for staff development workshops. You may complete the unit using your districts' template or any other method you are comforable with. Please post a summary on the blog for others and send a copy to me by snail mail at 936 Linden Ave, Rice Lake Wi 54868. Have fun and learn lots!!! Thanks again for taking the class. Barney Slowey

After seeing the Teaching Strategies Pyramid, I have decided for a final project I will be teaching “Outbreak.” Outbreak is a science module based on a real life event. The six week unit begins with the students watching a segment from NBC’s Today show with Katie Couric. Scientists and medical personal are on the scene in Kikwit, Zaire, where a deadly outbreak of Ebola struck in 1995.The class will be divided into four-member teams. Each team will act as a committee that has been elected by their community to investigate a deadly disease, suggest its cause, and recommend a strategy for halting its spread. Science Activities and Discovery Files are designed to provide the background information that will answer the science-related questions. Patient profiles and lab reports are distributed throughout the unit. The culminating event for this module is an oral presentation (could be a power point) by each community committee. Following all presentations, the class discusses the options and decides the best course.
I will be picking the groups of students who will work together. Each group has a number of roles to be completed. For example there is The Public Health Investigator, Physician, School Principal, and the Fast Food Restaurant Owner. This module provides performance assessments, cooperative learning, open-ended laboratory investigations, guided discussions, and statistical analysis.
I look forward to seeing the project outline Julie...sounds very interesting...thanks Barney
I created a multi-sensory activity about polar bears. I tried to incorporate a variety of activities to address the various learning styles. Since I already have small groups I could not regroup my students. The lesson will be aimed for the Kindergarten age level and will also work on refining and strengthening fine motor skills while exploring various textures and medias to complete a polar bear project.
Hi Kristin...looking forward to seeing it...barney
