Learning Task Main Idea & Details
Station 1: Design Thinking
Fictional Students:
Student 1: Works quickly & is above grade level, but makes careless mistakes because of disinterest.
Student 2: Working slightly below grade level and struggles to keep up in class.
Student 3: Doesn't return to the passage to figure out the main idea & details.
Changes I Would Make:
- Need something for students to store their thoughts, such as a graphic organizer, online journal, etc.
- Need a program or activity that allows the child to work at their pace & help with their specific learning needs.
Lesson Ideas:
- Children write stories - use these to find the Main Idea (don't specifically teach what main idea is yet)
- Write paragraphs together & discover Main Idea
- Students create a video or alternate assignments to show Main Idea.
- Story Frame - Pixar Films
Station 2: Prototyping & Modeling
I did enjoy creating a design through Tinker Cad. I think this could be used to create story props to help in retelling a story or students could create an image of something that represents the main idea.
Station 3:
Students need to be able to relate digital coding to the physical world so that they can create things to use in order to solve real-life problems.
