SCE 4311 Review
Hi Lietty, I really like your collection and how it’s all about the planets, the sun, the moon, and basically space. You have an article on the earth, sun and moon, another on telling time using the moon light, another on moon spin, another on the seasons, another on the solar system, another on sunrise, sunset, and shadows, and one on the universe. I like that they aren’t all really about the same thing, but various things that connect to outer space and how it affects earth.
For example, I like how you included one on the reasons for the seasons. While at first glance someone might think it’s out of place in the collection, it’s really not because it’s about how earth’s tilt on it’s axis in relation to the sun causes the seasons. Someone who might not know this information or who plans on teaching about it might find it very useful.
In addition to that, I like how you included an article on telling time using the moon. This must have been very useful for the Micro Teach in class about the sun clock. While it is a different concept, this could have been useful in the extend portion of the lesson. Previous to this article, I was not aware that you can tell time using the moon light, I thought only the sun was useful for the because of the shadows it creates. This could be a fun concept for children to learn.
Along with this, I like how your collection has specific topics and broad ones. For example, how you have an article about the Earth, sun and moon, then you have one about the solar system, and then one about the universe. They are topics that build upon one another and go great together. They are things that can be taught to students in successive weeks.
