MYP 5 Language and Literature - Non-Literary text analysis- Vivek Mukherjee

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Non-Literary text analysis

Details of the Learning Engagement:

Students worked in groups to analyse the essay "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady that highlights issues like gender stereotypes and roles and societal expectations of women. Students were provided 3 guiding question which they had to answer after a class discussion of the essay. Students could use any presentation tool such as Canva/Prezi/Google Slides for their presentations. Students had to focus on the various lines of argument being used by the author, the figurative language used and assumptions about the audience and women that prompted the author to write the essay in context. Students needed to be aware of contextual limitations faced by women and their ways of trying to combat certain expectations.


Impact of the engagement on students and my reflection as a teacher:

Students were engaged in working on different presentation tools during the lesson. The tools afforded them the ability to be creative in their presentations. They took a lot of interest in the topic and the fact that the text was a satirical text.

As a teacher, it was interesting to note how the student reacted to the ability to work on different mediums of expression rather than focus just on writing an answer. The active interest taken to use more creative tools encourages me to use more such tools in class in future.

The magic of AI Tutor -MYP 4 Physics- Sheeba Abraham

Objective of the Learning Engagement To reinforce key Physics concepts and improve conceptual clarity by using the Toddle AI Tutor for targeted revision, personalized questioning, and instant feedback, enabling students to identify misconceptions and strengthen their understanding in preparation for assessments.   Learning Engagement: The AI tutor feature on Toddle was introduced to me by Dr. Meetu Agarwal. As the time for revision approached, I decided to utilize this tool to kickstart the revision process. Upon logging into the Create AI Tutor feature, several options were available. I chose the Mastery Builder, where I input the syllabus for the upcoming Physics assessment. The AI then generated a set of instructions along with an AI rating scale, allowing students to be placed at different levels: Beginning, Emerging, Developing, and Mastery. Once the students were assigned their respective levels, the AI guided them with progressively more challenging questions. Upon submittin...

Chemistry Mash-up Mania: Crafting chemistry with clay - MYP1- Prerna Karmarkar

Objective of the Learning Engagement: The objective of this activity is to help students understand and differentiate between elements, compounds, and mixtures through interactive and hands-on approaches. By creating and analyzing physical models using colored clay and participating in a role-play activity, students can visualize molecular structures, embody atomic interactions, and engage with abstract chemical concepts in a tangible and meaningful way, fostering deeper comprehension and retention. Details of the Learning Engagement: Project Task given: Students were assigned a task to create a 3D molecular model set using coloured clay balls to represent elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students worked in groups to construct and classify examples of each. Students will document their observations and reasoning for classifying models as elements, compounds, or mixtures in the provided reflection sheet. Analogical Connection: Students worked in groups to create 3D molecular models us...
