Activities
The MOP activities all have the same basic structure:
Purpose and Expected OutcomeIn
this section, we tell students the specific concepts, principles, and
other ideas that will be raised and addressed during the activity. This
section also tells students what they are expected to learn.
Prior Experience / Knowledge Needed
We
first list for students the concepts and principles they should know or
be familiar with before attempting the activity. Then, if necessary, we
provide any additional background needed to do the activity.
Main Activity
This section
contains the specific questions and problems that probe students'
understanding and prepare them to make sense out of the ideas.
Reflection
After finishing the
Main Activity, students re-examine their answers to look for patterns.
They are also asked to generalize, abstract, and relate concepts to the
situations they have studied.
