My team is really excited to have our first visit to a site this semester. We are excited to have a more effective group to work with in our research on water conservation for young children. During our first visit, we are looking to interact more with educators. We should be able to have a conversation and ask science teachers about the methods they use to teach their students. Some of the questions I want to ask them are how long is a proper time for a fun, educational, and active lesson? Another question is whether we are creating tables and want to develop a lesson plan that teaches the basics of water conservation, while also connecting to other topics such as planning, community, and land use. How can we create a lesson plan that includes all students when some students may be at different academic levels? For my table, I need to design an interactive, engaging, and active lesson that can be taught within a 15-minute round. I would like to discuss this further with Zack to gain a better understanding of what he meant when he said kids have a lot of pride in where they come from. Hopeful, after getting to ask a question in person, I can start looking more in-depth at how I want to start building the lesson plan. As for now, I have some ideas about what I would like to use or build around for the kids. My idea is to combine teaching students about the history of their community and how the land’s past influences its future. However, if we change the way we envision the future, we can take action starting today. We can better our community by also incorporating water conservation and its importance in our communities. It all builds on the concept of working together, community, land, and water. I am confident that this project will make a greater impact than we can imagine. I see education as knowledge because no matter what happens in life, people can’t take away what they have already been taught in school. For these kids, education is a priority because we put them first. As time goes on, they are the future of the country, that’s why I see our program codes working with JJKFan as a greater impact than we may see it now. Some of the worries or barriers that may arise and make me nervous are that kids may not react or be as interactive with us as we would like them to be. As I visit JJKFan more, I hope to be able to build and adjust my lesson plans as I learn more, finding ways to teach effectively.
