MYP 3 Science Applications of static current- Dr Meetu Agarwal

Objective of the Learning Engagement:

Applications of static current

Details of the Learning Engagement:

Every student possesses a unique learning style, akin to the distinctiveness of fingerprints. Recognizing this diversity is crucial for educators aiming to effectively reach every student in their class. Differentiated instruction, a method tailored to accommodate individual learning needs, offers a promising solution.

Implementing differentiated instruction involves adapting teaching approaches to suit diverse student needs, whether by employing varied instructional techniques for the same material or adjusting lesson difficulty levels based on individual abilities. By catering to different learning styles—be it visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or linguistic—teachers can foster inclusive learning environments. Moreover, differentiation acknowledges that students vary in their requirements for teacher support, allowing for flexible arrangements such as individual work, group collaboration, or one-on-one assistance. Through tailored support and varied assessment methods, differentiation emerges as a potent strategy to ensure student engagement and progress.

Impact of the engagement on students:

Each student enjoyed learning as they had their choice in expression.

Student work: Here is one example of students of MYP 3 collaborating using their own choice of method to present their understanding of the applications of static current.

Beyond Black and White: Teaching Moral Complexity Through All My Sons- MYP 4 English LAL- Vivek Mukherjee

Objective of the Learning Engagement: To study the motivations behind decision making Details of the Learning Engagement: Today in my Grade 9 English class, we explored the idea of decision-making and what drives people to make the choices they do. Our focus was Joe Keller’s fateful decision to ship faulty airplane parts in Arthur Miller’s timeless play All My Sons. Students reflected on what lay behind Keller’s choice: was it mainly socio-economic pressure, or was it a result of his deeply flawed character? This sparked a lively debate in class, with many different perspectives coming to the surface. To wrap up, the students created posters that tried to justify Keller’s decision-making process from different angles. Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: It was inspiring to see such young learners engaging passionately with themes like war profiteering, morality, and survival under extraordinary circumstances. That’s the real magic of literature...

Bringing Stories to Life: When Reading Meets Sketching and Discussion MYP1- Mayura Tiwari

Objective of the Learning Engagement: Response to literature Details of the Learning Engagement: This is an ongoing activity - the children take turns reading aloud. They are encouraged to respond through sketching in their notebooks what they visualise. Most of them do. In turns, those who are keen - they all are! - , come up to the board and sketch. Four children - a total of eight in two shifts - take their place at the board and sketch as the others read. I get the children to pause and we discuss important parts, making connections to real life, analysing the characters, etc. The purpose is to develop listening skills, oral skills and visualisation through reading aloud. I do stop them also to correct pronunciation, intonation, etc. I establish right at the beginning that I need to help them enhance oral skills and if it is OK with them will make corrections. I get the buy-in from all of them. Some children prefer to continue to read on their own and are allowed to do that. O...

Multimodal Stimuli in MFL class MYP 1 Spanish -Rafael Pernia Molina

Objective of the Learning Engagement: To answer implicit and explicit information extracted from multimodal stimuli by working together to share knowledge. Details of the Learning Engagement: The students have to listen to audios and select the appropriate information detailed on the audio and do MCQ or crossing. Impact of the engagement on students and my reflection as a teacher: During the activity where students listened to audio clips and answered related questions, the level of student engagement was high. As they worked together, they actively supported one another, helping to ensure that all questions were answered and no gaps were left uncovered. This collaborative environment fostered peer learning and encouraged the development of listening and interpretative skills through shared understanding. However, as a teacher, I observed that while collaboration was beneficial in building confidence and promoting teamwork, it may have limited opportunities to identify individual liste...
