I wish I had Pam for 5th grade! What a wonderful life (and standards based!) lesson; the best part is it's not over when the lesson is over. Some assumptions about Pam's teaching:
-Pam believes in supportive environments with lots of feedback
-Students learn best by doing
-Giving expectations and models helps students understand better
-Humor is an excellent teaching tool
-Multitasking is practical and necessary (combining speech with writing, study skills, social skills, narrative/expository construction, etc).
Great lesson...especially The Hammer!

Anna,
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet to be hammered. Next time, a gentle feather.
