Another busy week passed, a busier week ahead.
Wanted to note down some idea that popped up last week to prevent it from being forgotten.
I have been very motivated with my 7 Sec 5N1 D&T pupils and have been trying new stuff by way of acronyms and analogies.
After CSI Investigator analogy, this 2 weeks, I am asking them to be like "Generator". Likening a electric coil being spun around a Magnet core to generate electricity, moving the electrons, I told the pupils, who studied Electricity Generator in Physics, to generate as many 'electrons' ideas as possible for their Design problem.
I hope the idea electricity will continue to work out some bright sparks of ureka idea for their design problem. :)
Wow another powerful imagery. Our pupils need them to understand complex concepts.
ReplyDeleteThe parts of the generator could be use to relate to the various conditions for ideas to flourish.
Keep these metaphors coming!
