Education & Teaching Question

PART 1

Create a short slide presentation related to material from chapter 5 and share it with the class. You can be creative with this post.

Can use:

– PowerPoint

– Google Slide

– Canva Flyer

Go more in-depth than the posted PowerPoint in teaching your term to the class. This should be 2-5 slides of content (title and references slides don’t count as content).
Your presentation should be helpful to the students in the class as you study for your exam. Do NOT just restate what is said in the book, like a definition, or what I said in my slides.
Attach your presentation to the post (if you can embed it do that, but I’m not sure that’s possible this week). You can also post a web link instead of attaching (like for Google Slides or Prezi).
In addition, describe your aid in 100-150 words for your post, and why it’s useful in understanding the concept. (That’s right, you won’t be held to the 300 words this week because there will be words, images, etc. in your presentation)

PART 2

- Select a topic of interest for young children (For example: “Transportation,” “Gardening,” “Community Helpers” ).
- Briefly explain why this topic is engaging, relevant, and appropriate for the children you are designing for.

Use the three phases of the Project Approach to structure your plan:

- - Brainstorm & Engagement Activity: Plan an activity to spark childrens interest and gather their questions about the topic.
  - Question Development: List 35 open-ended questions to guide the project inquiry.

- - Hands-On Activities: Plan at least two hands-on activities that allow children to explore the topic deeply (e.g., experiments, field trips, or guest speakers).
  - Collaborative Work: Include opportunities for children to work together, such as group projects, building models, or creating artwork.
  - Documentation: Describe how children will document their learning (e.g., drawings, photos, journals).

Summarize the three phases of your project-approach plan in a slide presentation
Include visuals such as images, charts, or mock-ups of activities.

Submission: Submit your visual representation as a single PDF or presentation file.
