Materials: Macromolecule PPT, plain piece of paper (foldable)
Starter: 1. What are the 3 things you need to know about each macromolecule? 2. What are the names of the students at your table? 3. What are the common elements found in the major macromolecules?
Discuss the starter.
Have 2 students present their glogs to the class.
Lesson: Begin the lecture by reviewing what we took notes on yesterday (carbohydrates). Finish the carbohydrates slides. When we are done with carbohydrates pass out a plain piece of paper to each student and explain the foldable to them (see the link). When they have filled out the carbohydrate tab, move on to taking notes on Lipids. When the lipid slides are done have them stop and complete the Lipid tab. Continue with this pattern until nucleic acids are explained.
1st period: struggled with the foldable. Got some push back on it...too elementary, confusing, repeating the work. I think it is benefitial...1. Another way of seeing the material. 2. Forces them to go back and review the notes. 3. Makes them basically rewrite their notes. 4. A great, quick, and easy study tool
ReplyDeleteI am interested to see if 4th and 5th periods do better with it.
The idea of doing it right after we took the notes is so the lecture is broken up and they are working with smaller amounts of information.
