Collection Review_Amanda Roman
Yunet, after reviewing your collection I can see that you must be completing your lesson based on the food chains. It was very interesting to see the articles that you found on this topic. I enjoyed reading the article on the food chains. I think it’s a great article to get different ideas on how to teach students about the food chains. I also liked how this article gave suggestions on a couple of books that can be used to teach this. I also particularly liked the article on the many levels of inquiry. I remember reading this article earlier in the semester. I found it to be very informative. It gave me a better understanding on the different types of inquiry. I can see how this article would help you in developing your inquiry based lesson plan. I especially enjoyed the article, An O-“fish”-ial Research project. I really enjoyed reading how they incorporated writing skills, researching information, and working together in groups to create PowerPoint presentations. I think this lesson was a great way to incorporate researching skills and writing in a fun way. My favorite part of this lesson was the celebration party they had at the end. I think this is great motivation for students and allows them to see the rewards of their hard work. I also think it was great that parents were also invited to see their students success. Overall, I really enjoyed reading through your collection. You have a lot of great articles that are very interesting and informative. I know that I can use the many level of inquiry lesson when I start working on my lesson as well. Great job Yunet!
