Outline Unit Plan for Biology

Biology is one of three natural sciences. Technology has provided a useful connection between the three natural sciences (chemistry and physics are the other)as well as provided advancement in these areas.But before we provide high technology to the classroom we must first address the essentials or the basics in understanding science, the student's ability to address the questions and problems of science presented to them from a cognitive perspective. Literacy instruction must be and should be provided basicly to students by first being able to read a book. Science is about experimentation and a computer cannot provide that first hand training. On the other hand computers are useful in their aplication of data analysis. The student must be able to make use of both high tech and low tech solutions to the science of biology as well as all of the natural sciences; for we as theachers and learners should not completly forego the book or basic literture tools; just like whiching a movie of some novel, the book always provide or give a more discriptive observation of the contents of the story than the movie.

Response to Outline Unit Plan for Mathematics

My experience and exposure in the public school system has shown me that many students have been programed to fail to make the connection between mathematics and its relevancy to the real world. Many students always asked the question why should we learn this type of math, many students cannot make the connection.I have also found that when students in secondary school take complex math classes they tend to have problems with simple calculations, understanding, and using the order of operation process; also problems with basic math skills such adding, subtracting, division, and especially multiplication.Students must be taught to practice and re-enforce previous learned math processes without the use of computers, and calculators until they can master math processes mentally or with the use of pencil and paper.Students must understand what math is all about and why we depend on this language.

response to out line for social studies

I presented this outline for social studies for the entire course from beginning to end. I have found that in order to complete a single unit in a subject area of this nature you must provide an overall view of the complete course. I also found that this particular subject area combines or is a combination of three areas of studies, history, civics, and sociology. Once you begin a project of this nature it kind of draw you into the process of wanting to learn more and more of this subject content, a content area that you ‘re a part of.

o4/02/2010 assignment on music (unit plan)


I created a unit plan on music,I could have developed a power-point presentation of this unit but decided not to do so. I found that the music culture and listening audience of the younger generation and in some cases my generation is far different that any other past musical period. Today's modern style music (rap, hip-hop)is a world without instruments but background music of previous musicians. I would try to reach today's student in understanding music history by fully understanding the beginning of new age music, its roots, and its subculture and its relevance to past musical periods.
