Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. Establish authority as instructor
2. Circle Object Improvisation
3.Grouping |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Introduce self as instructor in a way which establishes authority.
However, also show a friendly side. Create a welcoming environment
in which they feel free to express themselves in whichever so way
they choose. Have desks in circle so it is a more opening
2. Students will stand up and form a closed circle. In this activity
students will pass an invisible object around as if it were a tangible
object. However, when passing the object they can change the shape,
dimensions,texture, and weight of the object. When receiving the object
they have to receive it as it was, then continue to change it. Continue
this game until each student receives and gives the object. The objective
of this exercise is expand their cognitive processes beyond textbooks
and assignments. It is a free mind activity, where there is no right
or wrong answer, it also creates respect within each-other, establishing
a comfort level with their peers.
3. The next activity is also an icebreaker game. The grouping game
is dictated by the instructor (myself) in which students are told
to walk around in a designated area slowly just passing each other
by calmly when the instructor says aloud some type of category. For
example, "Shoes". In which the students are to form groups without
speaking finding students who are similar with them in that specific
category. Then instructor will go through group one by one and ask
on the count of 3 the students say aloud the one word that they each
believe binds them together. This also creates a comfort level within
the students forming bonds and strengthening that comfort level for
future weeks. |

D. Independent Practice-
1. After introductions see if a student(s) can name each and every
person in their class.
2. Following Improvisation game, lead a discussion in what they thought
this was to assess. Provide positive feedback with each response to
boost confidence within the students. Speak of imagination and different
ways people are able to learn not just through textbooks. Not one
person just has to have specified minds in one subject, everyone has
creative outlets.
3. After grouping game have students lead discussion on what this
assessed. Have them name groups they were in with the names of the
students they were with, establishing more comfort within the group. |
