Hypothetically speaking...I first set up my multimedia projector showing my students some pictures (pictures I have permission to use) based on the topic deforestation. If the projector does not work I would have printed pictures ready -my contingency plan!!Then initiate a discussion using the pictures of areas that are deforested. I would then record the students' observations. After which, I would elicit a definition of the term deforestation. The students will then discuss the negative and positive aspects of deforestation. The students will be provided with a graphic organizer, a table labeled, positive and negative effects of deforestation. The students will use this graphic organizer to record their ideas. Students will then be given a sheet with information on deforestation to review the table. I will place the students in groups of four to creatively produce an informed podcast (the students would have a prior knowledge of a podcast) defining deforestation and outlining the positive and negative effects of deforestation. Oh! I nearly forgot my contingency plan. I could allow the students to do a performance for the class presenting their information.
It is a work in progress!
