GRASPS (Understand By Design)

Whenever I am doing a unit plan, I used to get held up at the GRASPS portion of the unit plan because I was unsure of what to say. But with the help of the different handouts that I have been given throughout my education career, I have held on to this handout specifically to help with my unit plans.

Writing Exercise - Home

On Monday, May 13, 2019 we were able to do a writing exercise. For this writing exercise we were given a topic to think about, and this topic was the word, "HOME." For this writing exercise we where asked to close our eyes and think about what home meant to us. Once we had an idea flowing about what home meant to us, we were asked about the 5 W's and the 1 H: who, what, when, where, why, and how. My personal story about HOME   The first thing I thought about when I thought about home, was my grandparent's cabin in Greenwater Lake, SK. Every one of my aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and all the dogs we owned were there. During this time we were all laughing, playing, talking, and we were all happy that we were reunited with each other. I could see this story being in my dreams because some of the animals that I thought of have come into this world, and are now gone to a better place. By keeping the memories of all of my family and pets, this will he...

ECUR 379 DAY 1

Day 1: Wednesday, May 8th, 2019 was the first class of ECUR 379. We learned about a variety of different ways help keep students engaged in different types of lessons which could be used in many different types of classes. One way to keep a student engaged was the "Monkey See, Monkey do" technique. When the teacher asks the students to do something such as a silent reading period, quick write, or simply telling them about their weekend, as the teacher of the classroom, the teacher should whatever they asked the students to do. While listening about this technique, it brought up a memory of when I was in high school. When we were asked to read silently every Tuesday, some of the teachers would read, and the class was usually quiet. But when a teacher would not read, the class was not quiet. When a teacher leads by example, it shows that the teacher is there to follow the rules, and to not only make the rules. When a teacher gives their input for any type of co...
