EDR 335 Chapter Notes - Chapter 5: Skeleton
Document Summary
Don"t just read a book, read the world. Want to integrate the environment something would appear in (ex. in spanish unit introduce dancers and musicians, have students create alongside hem) Using musical experiences in regular classroom creates excitement for the subject, common in foreign language classes. Experience a topic in multiple ways to reinforce it. Comprehension is different from decoding (bloom"s taxonomy) Don"t just study literature from mexico, dance, sing, and create visual representations from the region. Schema theory: the more closely generic concepts match those intended by the author, the easier it will be to comprehend. Schema refers to closely connected set of ideas. Example: student concept of carnival music already being exciting and fast, then incorporate with traditional colorful costume. Don"t trivialize he meaning of a story (if a story is about birds and winter it is about survival) To construct lesson plan, determine your end result, how to assess learning, then create procedure.
