Resource Critique Activity
CPALMS has many different resources for educators. I decided to evaluate some resources I found for 4th grade teachers. There was a specific activity on having students having a scavenger hunt through a book. The standard it covered was LAFS.4.RI.3.7. The standard talks about interpreting information visually, orally, or quantitatively and being able to make sense out of it and say how it relates to the text its presented with. I think that this activity was a good way to check students ability to work with this standard in mind. Specifically, this assignment wants students to find specific things in the given book like a table of contents or charts/graphs. By finding these specific things in books, students are able to understand how they are found to be useful in books.

I remember back when I was in 4th grade and how visual activities were always the best. This would be great for that age because kids will have a competitive mindset and will want to learn more so they can try and beat their classmates. Adding games is always a great way to help kids have fun while learning!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great activity. Does the lesson include any technology? If not, how could technology be incorporated?
ReplyDeleteI like the reasoning behind this activity. It seems like it perfectly meets standard LAFS.4.RI.3.7. However, this seems like an introductory activity for students to familiarize themselves with the textbook. Maybe this activity could be used the first week of school to help get kids started in the beginning of the year. Afterward, an activity that has students use the book more in depth might be better.
