Thursday w 47 - an ordinary Thursday

Got in later then plannedu because of traffic problems. Snow has fallen and always seems to catch everybody by surprice even if it comes every year!


Religion class
Watched streamin movies about hinduism today. Wanted to show a movie from our "stash" but it was already taken, so we used both SLI and Youtube and watched. Afterwards we commented and discussed and took notes.


Students showed very patience and creativity when things didn't work as planned and contributed to the lesson with information, solutions and feedback.


Religion again
Had last lesson on christianity and a reward for the three best on the test, just for the fun of it.


We had made a competition with the "learning tests" to add some extra fun to it. Everybody had the opportunity to do the tests once each day and got their results immediatly. Everybody knew who had the best points and had a last go at them before reward was given.


The point with learning tests is to learn. The pupils are given study question and can look up information in the book or internet and study. The test is a multiple choise test where many alternatives can be true. Some of the answers are directly from the book while others require that the student understood the meaning behind the wordings of the book. The questions and their answers comes in different order for every student and they have 20 min to complete the test. Only the best results counts.


I follow up these test, which are more fundamental, with other tasks where the pupils must use their knowledge to solve problems, show how things are connected and build new knowledge.


Interpretation
Even if I think I know what will happen and have a plan, I must scrutinize it more. I didn't prepare enough (did only the intellectual part, but not the visualization and contemplation-part etc) on my way to school which gave negative result. Not much but still.
