Teaching Grade 7

Shape of the Day (this helps students know what we are doing that day)

Taught Math during my Short Practicum (we tried this method of reviewing past material before we moved to implementing the Daily 3 method)

Taught students about Haida art and history. Students were then shown this image of my drawing of a bird and were asked to show a representation of their own connection to nature using the Haida art techniques that we covered, such as the drawing with ovoids.

Social and Emotional Lesson- I read this story to my students and they were expected to ask questions and make connections to their lives.

Social and Emotional Lesson- After reading the story, “Nasreen’s Secret School: A True Story From Afghanistan,” I handed out post-it notes for students to write out any questions that they had and to write about how they would lend a “helping hand” to a new student who was going through a trauma that was similar to Nasreen’s; how would they help them fit in?

Art – Pop-up Card, Pointillism, Georgia O’Keeffe’s flowers, and Picasso’s cubism.

Drama exit slip – to assess participation and behaviour

French- Shape of the Lesson, music, games and oral work to teach students how to speak the language.

Socials Studies- Learning about culture through stories

P.E – “Save the Statues” is one of the cooperative games that I modified with my students and played with them.

Story Strategies- We read these books and discussed the concepts of questions, inferences and transformations.

Science- This unit was about Forensic Chemistry. For one of the experiments, we analyzed a variety of synthetic urine samples that I created to look, smell and react the same way as actual urine.

Teacher Directed Writing- I taught students about a variety of different writing styles, such as “Mystery Story Writing.” During Daily 5, students were expected to write their own stories as a part of the Choice Write segment.

Math- For my Transformations unit, I incorporated a lot of real life examples to make my lessons more relevant and immediate for my students.

HACE- We focused on healthy relationships. For this particular assignment, students were expected to show me in words and pictures what a healthy community looks, sounds and feels like.
