The Water Cycle (Hydrological or Hydrologic System)
Define age group and describe how you would teach the lesson
In the spring of my junior year I began to think about what I was wanting to do with my future. I quickly decided that I wanted to become a teacher, and began to think of any classes I could take that could help prepare me for that decision. I decided to take an Early Childhood Education Class at the Century Career Center in Logansport. While in that class I worked with preschool aged children and planned lessons for them to complete while at preschool. Since working with them I have decided I would like to be an elementary school teacher, and work with younger kids. So for my lesson I would teach lower elementary students, preferably …show more content…

Although the water cycle may be a difficult concept for the students to learn, I would use worksheets, a demonstration, and group work to help the students better understand the concept of the water cycle. By working with preschoolers I have learned that young children learn better with visual aids. It would be hard for them to understand the process of the Water Cycle if they had no visual aid to help demonstrate the process. So in order for the students to better understand the Water Cycle I would prepare a demonstration of the water cycle as well as use posters to help the students understand the different steps of the water …show more content…

By allowing the students to work in groups, they will be able to ask each other questions regarding the water cycle. While in groups the students will be able to discuss the different stages and help each other decide which picture belongs with each stage. Working with a partner or in groups would allow the students to better understand the water

1 What type of documentation did you see and inspire you? To my perspective, all those projects have been a trip toward the unconscious mind of the child and has released his/her deep emotional and visual experience. Also, the project has been a bridge between the self-unconscious (intangible) and language of self-expression (touchable) as “Artifacts”. To me as an educator with major study field in graphic and Fabric design, the outcome of the documentation has been a pure art which was occurred based on the unconscious of the child and affected his/her behavior and emotions. For the art, the timing of skill and the skill itself must be primarily unconscious responses.

Ever since I was young, I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. When I would stay the night with my aunt’s or at my grandmother’s house for the summer, I would always create math worksheets and roll calls for my cousins to fill out because they were my students.
