Exploring Discovery Education gave me fond memories of my past. I saw video clippings that I have not seen since the late 80’s and the 90’s such as, The Magic School House Bus. I loved that program because it taught children and adults science on many different levels. Children had the opportunity to visualize it, and the program showed them step by step how things operate. Knowing this about Discovery Education allows me to welcome Digital Media into my classroom.
Many times teachers are constantly looking for resources that will put the seasonings/condiments in the lesson. The topic I will teach is Literacy – what are verbs and my objective will be bringing action into your writing by writing verbs. Discovery Education meets the need of the students and teachers.
Students will view the video clipping what are action verbs, American West and lastly use a game on verbs. Digital Media permits’ students to put a face on the words they read in their text books. My lesson on action verbs will explains what they are, and give students an understanding on how to use verbs correctly in a sentence. Furthermore, the video teaches’ students to observe the clipping on animals in Africa and write sentences explaining the action. Then, the students will model the same writing activity after they saw American West. From that lesson some students will use their acting skills by creating a skit or present their work through oral presentation. Lastly, students will create a narrative essay where verbs are presented. I believe, Discovery Education is a scaffold and the program permits me to address the learning styles of students such as, the tactile learner, the visual learning, the kinesthetic learner and the audio learner.
