For this last link, it is purely hypothetical. I imagined as if my class was in the middle of reading a novel taking place in Dubai, India. Though the story is fictional, the places and events are real events. I would research a map of India and make some doodles to explain different parts of the story. I pretended that the student who was aiming to be a biochemist had no vehicle. Therefore, he would walk from his school (point A) to the laboratory (point B) everyday. Then, as the sad story turns out, the medicine that he offers to the community turns out to be malignant, causing mini-plagues in the surrounding hospitals. Rather creative, eh? And the map would give students a good picture of the real place!

This flowchart is a neat and perfect aid to make a successful discussion forum. The content can speak for itself. It is a wonderful visual that allows each student to know where the lesson is headed.

This is a survey I could give my students at the beginning of the year. It would start class out with a creative lesson in certain areas. It would also give me a good picture of the general attitude of the incoming class along with their learning styles so I can best serve them.

A Fun Story

A Possible Assignment

This fine looking rubric would provide wonderful clarity for students looking to score highly on this assignment. As a teacher, I definitely fail if my assignments keep cycling in the same redundancy. I shall need novelty and relevance. Perhaps I could assign a paper, poetry, have the students write a short play script, pass out those envious wordsearches, do something technological (!), or assign this timeline project. I have just finished reading My Name is Asher Lev in my World Literature class and I thoroughly enjoyed. So, I pretended as if I would have my English class read it and now we are in the "follow-up" process. All the have to do is nab some huge butcher paper and chart up the sequences of the book. However, they will find that they will need to douse those empty spaces with creativity. This could be completed with drawings, online printouts, etc. However, they will also see a requirement for neatness; simply tarting up pictures with the famous scotch tape may not win too many points. Overall, this is an assignment that I may give part of a day to work on in class. Hypothetically, I would notify them of the assignment on a Monday and have it due for Thursday or Friday.

An Educational Opportunity

I took this picture in light of my "specialty": English. Luckily, art falls in the category easily and pictures are great for stirring the imagination. I could use this in classroom mainly as an assignment. I could have students write a poem about the woman's emotion or assign a short story that involves the man and the woman. Plenty of combinations are at play here...
