Classroom update #1
This week in my classroom, I introduced the pre-assessment of the proper way to address individuals out in the school and community settings. Most of my students understood the proper way to address individuals they know but also individuals they don't know. The pre-assessment consisted of a test of 10 questions ranging from how to shack hands, eye contact, and how to speak to any and all individuals my students may meet. After the assessment, as a class, we discussed the answer the students marked and discussed in more detail of why certain answers were marked. Throughout the lesson, some of the questions, I demonstrated the appropriate way to deliver within school and community. This week we will revisit our pre-assessment and I will introduce the "Smile and Wave" technique.

I love this pre-assessment- what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI like that you did a pre-assessment too. I kind of did one as well but mine wasn't the students answering questions it was me observing them and seeing how on task they were. I really like your ideas. Can't wait to hear the results. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletePre-assessment seems to be the way to go. I love the way you are using this to model the correct way to greet people. It's more than just a pre-assessment, it created "teachable moments".
ReplyDeleteWhat a great plan, Leman. I can't help but think that many of our students could benefit from this lesson! Your use of the pre-assessment is great! I think it will help your students to naturally consider how they interact! I look forward to hearing how it turns out:-)
