It was a slow monday. We had about children’s literature and all of these old men who has had a perspective on the child sometime in the past.
Suddenly this wierd woman with an umbrella on her head steps into the classroom.
Ann’s lesson had begun.
The lesson was a part of a bigger lessonplan about Cinderella and the different literature based on the original one. She had made an rebus or a scanvanger hunt of some sort out of cards. We are sorted into two groups and each group gets four envelopes. The envelopes are numbered one to four. In the envelope are there a question and different answer alternatives. The goal is to find the code to a lock on a chest with a price in it.
This lesson was really fun and can easly be adapted to different age levels by making the questions easier or harder. It is a great activity because in the group the pupils can have different strenghts and here they have to cooperate to solve the task. She also sneaked in some maths which is really great.
I can see this in seventh grade with a rebus that took the pupils around the school looking for clues. Then you’ll get some physically activity also. It is a fun way to end a bigger topic.
I also like that she used menti.com. By using this the pupils can set a word (or three) on what they have learned during the period they have had this topic.

Great to see that you have brought with you so much pedagogical facts from the fellow student presentation. You have also many good observations and reflections that can be taken along in the profession. You have a flow and good structure for your post. You are also noticed that your fellow student has interdisciplinary teaching, and it is always great to be able to combine such for better learning outcomes. A great summary of the day 🙂
Such a funny and entartaining way to start a blog post. You do write really well, and you really set the mode right away. I love how you reflect on how you can adapt this to different age groups.
