Teaching Scientific Inquiry with Gizmos prepares teachers to use the inquiry process and Gizmos to support the development of deeper student understanding of important science concepts. The instructor models best practices for teaching with Gizmos in science, demonstrating a progression of inquiry that develops students’ scientific inquiry skills. Teachers become more skillful in using inquiry methods of instruction, which encourage students to ask questions, make observations, and construct reasonable explanations. Bring a charged device.
Attendees will learn rehearsal room approaches to analyzing and interpreting drama, specifically Shakespeare. These techniques can be applied to other works of literature as well.
We will start with theater games to warm up and build energy, then walk to closely read a text, followed by using groups to read and stage a scene.
Attendees will take away three activities they can use in English for teaching Shakespeare, poetry, or any play or monologue (plus warmups that are great for extra time at the end of a class period or for a brain break).
