Reflection
Upon completing this assignment, I was shocked that I learned something. The
assignment made me think about the meaning of the words. This is a good way to help students
remember parts of the preamble by breaking into pieces. This assignment could be used for
children who are not that good writing because it has the visual affect it is like putting a keyword
and an image with each section to help remember things. A student could visually remember by
the picture then put the words with the picture. Especially for a fill in the blank test a student
would definitely be able to figure out what parts of the permeable are missing.
In addition did not take a long time to do which would be great in a regular classroom
that does not have that many computers. This would be a great opportunity for station learning. I
could picture working with a small group of students giving them instruction for the computer.
Seven students could work independently on the computer alone. Another group of students
could work on the smart board activity.
