A.4+Three+Type+I+Activities

During our lesson on changes in communication and communication devices of the future, I planned to have our principal as a guest speaker talking about the many varied and unusual ways that she uses her cell phone for job related purposes. However, due to an unexpected event, she was not able to meet with my first two groups of children. I substituted by using the iphone guided tour on the apple website. This guided tour explains the iphone in detail. The children were very attentive and interested in the many uses of an iphone.

During our lesson on dancing over the decades, students watch and followed along with an instructional video on //the hustle, the electric slide, and thriller. The children really enjoyed learning these dances, especially Thriller! Because the Shelby County server blocks youtube, I had to save the files and import them into my itunes library.

An interest center is also located in my room containing books for students to explore, old albums, CDs, a tagboard showing different events that happened during the 70s, 80s, and 90s, biographies, fashion magazines, books, and car magazines. The students loved to look at and discuss the material located at this center.
