These past few weeks consisted of me writing my lesson plans on renewable energy. On Saturday, we met with Tobias via conference call, and discussed the progress of our plans, and what will happen with the project moving forward. He explained that there are two school districts in Newark that are interested in using the curriculum that we are currently forming, which is very exciting. In addition, the grant for the apps will be happening, and Tobias has to meet with the schools to discuss them.
Because there has been a lot going on in my life, I am behind on the calendar of deliverables that Katie, Gabby, and Bido came up with. I am hoping to get everything finished by next week, so that I will be all caught up with everything that needs to be done.

This week, I have been working on my lesson plans. I am currently working on two third grade plans with the topic of renewable energy. For the first lesson plan, the students will be learning about the differences between renewable energy and nonrenewable energy, and will be completing activities on identifying each type when using the given examples. The second lesson will consist of the students using what was taught in the first lesson to think of ways that they can conserve nonrenewable energy in their home and personal lives. If I were to continue this mini unit with more lessons, I would have the students complete a project that will actually help them in real life. The lesson I am working on is to simply brainstorm ideas for the project. They will do this in the form of writing, so literacy and be integrated into this science lesson as well.
As for meeting with the SAS team, I am unable to do it this week due to my traveling with the SHU Pep Band for NCAAs. However, we will be planning to meet either in person or over the phone next week to continue our progress and to share what we are doing. |
