Question

1.Ms. Pearson assigned her students a section to read on ecosystems in their science book. When finished, she tries to lead an exercise where the children must apply what they have learned. However, no one is participating. This makes no sense to Ms. Pearson because no one gave any indication there was an issue with the text. When asked if they understood the passage, most students confess that they did not. What should Ms. Pearson have done differently?

Answer 1

Ms Pearson should employ Hands on learning technique

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecosystems is science and teaching science entails critical thinking, effectual communication, creativity and collaboration. Everything is connected, from the birds of the air, crawling and flying insects, fish and aquatic life, the waste in our environment, trees and forestry , our pets, our food, and ourselves. The following techniques and activities can be employed by Ms Pearson.

1. A walk around the school park or garden, with the students making a list of everything they say, the ongoing activities and how the activities affect every animal or object they noted.
2. A journal should be kept where students are to pick an animal and monitor how it relates and interacts with its environment.

Other techniques that can be adopted include story telling where Ms Pearson paints a scenario of a farmer who kills all the lions in the area to protect his livestock. The students are to give their views about the effect of the farmer's action on the ecosystem. Science text cards can also be used to help the students memorize.

Answer 2

Group Studies

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms Pearson as a professional teacher should have group the students into smaller groups,appoint someone to lead the group and emphasize the need for coolaboration in learningbefore proceeding to lead the exercise.

This would have help to create an opportinity for those who understood the section to guide those who did not understand the topic. Again, it would have become an opportunity for them to collaborate as a team, study as a group and address the questions efectively.
