How would prior experience have been assessed?
- In teaching this lesson with 1st graders I would use the discussion prior to the activity to find out what they know. I would ask questions regarding the definition of a habitat, the parts of a habitat, the importance of these parts, and the importance of the habitat as a whole. I would also ask them about their own habitats.
What would you expect to learn from assessing your students' prior knowledge?
- The questions regarding definition and details would help me in planning my explanation of the content. There may be some things they need more coverage on than others.
- The questions about the value of these components would give me an idea about their understanding of animals and their needs as living beings, as well as their needs as far as understanding the point of the lesson.
- The questions regarding their own habitat would help in figuring out if they grasp the larger concept of habitats and can relate the topic to their own experiences.
How would this information be useful in the planning pprocess?
- I would use all of this information in planning the next stage of the discussion in which I explain the parts of a habitat and their value, with input from the students regarding their thoughts on the topic.
