Have students teach about the topic and become "experts" in a certain part of the objective with roundtable. Topics like charter schools, online learning, teacher qualities, and staff and district help. All take an individual topic, then all work on staff and district help at the same time. Give each round a minute and a half.

Going over objective

tberryman1 — 2023-11-05 22:43:17 UTC

Play a game of pictionary with whiteboards with objects being drawn being the objectives. Ex. What a charter school looks like, what online schooling looks like, and teacher qualities.

(Do practice round to show what exactly is going on with a drawing of a fish.)

explain

tberryman1 — 2023-11-06 01:21:13 UTC

Go more in depth on certain topics from TED talk 1 like reform is not working, should be a revolution, should conform to the students being taught, etc. Tedtalk 3 talks about how if we implemented our alternative plan as our primary plan we wouldn't have need for a alternative plan.

This will be Ethan and I's first ever time teaching a topic and our topic itself is unique, especially with the way we are representing it. We incorporated tactile learning with pictionary and audio-visual with the jigsaw in activity 2. We used technology to gain our information and write our notes down, and keep track of where we were at in the lesson. We created content related games. It was interesting coming up with the different activities we are going to use.
