We went over various items in our thematic unit. It was nice to clarify some of the items that appeared to confuse multiple classmates concerning their analysis document.
After reviewing these as a class, we were divided into groups according to stickpick app to create a learning guide/lesson plan about making a peanut butter sandwich. Luckily, I was placed with two amiable individuals. Rita and Amy B. were incredibly friendly and of great assistance while working together. When we have a solid team, the task simplifies and is often fun. As always, it is insightful to see what the various groups create to share with the class during their presentations. I was pleased to see that groups were mindful of nut allergies. Personally, I currently have a student who has a peanut allergy. I also have a student who is Celiac and must eat gluten free foods. It is requisite we are aware and willing to prevent accidents happening in the classroom. If we stumble unawares into a situation of teaching a lesson causing harm to a student, everything we teach is likely to be forgotten. The only thing they will take away from the lesson will be the memory of a student getting sick or injured during the instruction.
We talked about the 9 steps in creating a training/lesson.
