Just when you think you have it all under control, you have to have to do an activity that really makes you test your understanding! I am not sure as to how well I performed in this activity, but I found it a very interesting insight into what I have (or haven't) learned in this section. I would like to think that the questions and problems that I have created would open the way for conversations between students and guides on my imaginary tour. After looking at the background knowledge and finding out what the students need to know, participants should have ownership of the activity. By getting children to work in teams or pairs they should interact with each other collaboratively and use their individual strengths in assigned tasks. With the addition of problem based activities about life today and in the past, the excursion will have some relevance to their own lives and facilitate higher order thinking. Cultural knowledge of our area and its history will be given to our children when they are interacting with the senior citizens that man the village. By adhering to the safety rules they will have set themselves for the day active citizenship will be put into practice and their identity as a group should be reinforced.
