Inquiry Plan Update 2

I have recieved consent to video all the students in my classroom. Tomorrow I am planning to video a writing lesson without using all the techniques that I, along with my behavior specialist have decided to implement. On Thursday, when I teach this similar writing lesson again, I plan to video the lesson while implementing the behavior modification techniques. Following the lesson, I plan to have the students watch both videos. We will then create a venn diagram comparing and contrasting how instruction is the same, and how it is different, depending on the behavior of the students. I also plan to have a class discussion with the students leading it. I would like for them to come up with reasons that better behavior benefits them. I want them to realize that this is for them, and not for me. I think that behavior is like any other lesson we teach students. They need to relate it to their own life and see how it will benefit them in order to make it effective.

  1. Ooo- this is so cool- I love it! I love how you have engaged the students in the process along with you- I think this is important and will contribute to your success (and theirs). Also I love the literacy that you ahve tied into this with the Venn Diagram :) I also like the before and after approach. Let us know how it goes.
