B. I could use this activity in a lesson on the importance of moving to get open while on offense. Showing the players that is pertains to more than just one sport.

B. Whatever the activity is, introduce it in a way that connects it to the real-world application of the lesson. For example with the water cycle, you could ask students how rain impacts their daily lives before the activity starts.

B. I think this would be good to use when going over topics like the Columbian Exchange. You can have them list their favorite foods first and then show how the Columbian Exchange would have impacted their favorite dishes.

I can use this activity in a lesson to ask high level questioning focusing on note accuracy and identification and rhythm counting. How can we analyze a piece of music we just played, or a piece we heard on the radio, or at a concert.

Repetition

B. In class we are always making connections between skills and learning experiences. There is so much repetition and that repetition should improve student learning.

When learning new vocabulary words in different units some of the strategies of neuroplasticity to help it better stick like use it to improve it, repetition, or the intensity upon which we learn the words initially could really start to benefit students and their abilities to remember and use the words throughout the unit.

In the domain of mathematics (geometry): the repetition of specific formulas before completing the problem (requiring the student to copy the formula as the first step) can assist students in completion of the problem, as well as, strengthen the child’s parietal lobe to succeed in other future mathematical calculations. Moreover, different shapes (therefore formulas) should be used to maximize the benefits of the exercise. 

B. Connecting skills practice to skills development and proficiency.

B. There is a lot of repetition with the skills I am working on in my class, with the hopes that will improve student learning. Also, for students to recognize that the skills I am working on can be applied in their regular math classes and I am being purposeful with my lessons.

B. Connections to life skills. Figuring out how to use repetition to better improve abilities in not just math, but in life.

B. This would be a good activity to use in Spanish class to get students to use different vocabulary than the same old words they use all the time.

In regards to learning another language, repitition of words and phrases are key, and finding meaningful and real life situations to recycle words helps in long-term retention.

b. For example, we will be learning about the suns impact on weather in the coming days. I will ask students to think about what the sun provides them in their daily life. They will make the connection that the sun has a huge impact on our daily lives!

Using repetition of skills but in different ways in math and life skills allows the students to grow as better community members later in life.

Connecting lessons to real life experiences that the students have is a great way to make growth.

teambuilding exercise but removing the ability to use one of the five senses (ie. arrange yourself by oldest to youngest, no talking)

B. It would be great to use this to help students understand how their medication works to help them or how to use a spacer with their inhaler.

Ways to improve neuroplasticity is through lots of repetition, pneumonic devices, relatable stories.

I used an activity similar to this one in the classroom by asking students to describe an example of negative feedback without using words such as change, stimulus, or response.

B) I can utilize neuroplasticity in Health with lessons such as self-talk. Have the kids practice positive self-talk before introducing material on healthy or positive ways to self-talk before having the students practice again.

When working on vocabulary with students, I can change up the method of practice and repetition to activate new ways to connect to concepts. If I can connect it to prior knowledge, even better! A few weeks ago I was discussing the difference between democracy and monarchy and a student connected it to Star Wars. That student won't forget those concepts!

b. Give students the opportunity to overcome and persevere in a safe and encouraging environment

B. Practicing skills through homework and classwork to learn new skills and meet standards as well as relating those skills to real work situations.

b. -Giving students an opportunity to define a content specific word and not use the common words associated with this.

-Going about solving a problem in math multiple ways

Teach kids to use mindfulness techniques to help become more aware of their thoughts and emotions which helps them to choose a more constructive and beneficial response.

b. In class, this could be something as simple as moving the desks to make a literature circle and having an in-depth "inside/outside" conversation about the novel we are reading. (We did this in one of my college classes and I still remember it for its uniqueness!)

B. In Art, we could go over our vocab words and have the students talk to each other only using our art words. Giving them the opportunity to use them in context.

This can be used in a specific lesson by applying to a real-world scenario. An example would be teaching money and having students simulate the buying experience, and making the determination of whether or not the money they have is enough to make a purchase.

I think salience is important because when content and work is meaningful to students' lives, and they see what we are learning about in action, they use their learning to understand, manipulate and control the science around them. We are learning about day and night right now and learning about the patterns surrounding it. They use their understandings about the sun and use models to have new understanding about how the sun "moves" across the sky.

In the classroom, offering different routes/methods to get to the same place in lessons/knowledge to allow the brain to build a variety of ways to solve/manage what it will be faced with.

B. Music is a perfect example of how repetition plays a role in neuroplasticity. When you repeatedly practice a piece of music or a specific technique, your brain forms and strengthens neural connections that support those movements, sounds, and patterns. Over time, this repetition helps make those skills feel more automatic and fluid.
