Ktucker Social Studies 304

Answers to questions from lesson 1. The key questions asked in the exploratory introduction tied into the phases of the lesson by engaging students in critical thinking skills by observing and making predictions of what the lesson development will entails. It allows students to have an onset idea of the paper making process (sequencing) which builds on their previous knowledge and also allows them to analyze meaning and gain understanding before the lesson development.2. The lesson development activities that helped to explain how events are sequenced by the learners are: by rearranging three artifacts in order they occur as first, second, and last; by sequencing using the pictures by time sequence followed by discussion.3. The teacher help students to expand on their more developed abilities by asking questions that they can relate to. It expanded on the students' awareness and cognitive skills which allows them to connect previous knowledge with new knowledge and think beyond the facts. Also, the students had to complete a task by drawing pictures.4. The teacher 'wrap-up' the lesson by allowing both the teacher and the students to summarize the concept of sequencing of activities and conducted a summative evaluation which enables the students to draw events in sequence. Teacher will use a summative evaluation rubic to score the assignment.
