Pedagogy
Slide 1 & 2: Will not use.
Slide 3: Students will play a game in teams as a warm up to review the
lesson taught the day before. Each team will select a team leader who
will be working on the IWB. The teams will take turns answering the
questions. During this activity, questions will appear on the left side of
the screen and jumbled letters will appear on the right. The team
leaders will have to listen to their teammates to figure out the answer
and spell it correctly to earn the points. The teacher will take score on
the white board as the students answer the questions. One point for
each correct answer. The score provided on the game will determine
ow well the class as a whole did.
Slide 4: The teacher will call up six students to click and drag the
vocabulary words to label the plant cell structure. Once all the parts
have been labelled, the teacher will choose a student to click the
magnify glass and drag it under the lines to reveal the correct
answers.

Slide 5: Students will click and drag the parts of the plant cell into the
diagram to create the correct structure. Then, the teacher will move
the shade to reveal what the plant cell should look like.
 Slide 6: repeat what students did in slide 4 except for an animal cell
and only four students are needed.
Slide 7: repeat slide 5 except for the animal cell.
Slide 8: will not use
Quiz Slides: After reviewing the content, the teacher will quickly go
over the quiz questions by reading them out loud and having the
students raise their hand if they know the answer. The teacher will
then call on one student to come up to the board and click what he or
she believes is the correct answer.
Slide 9: As an exit ticket for the day, the teacher will have the
students go to the board and write down one characteristic of a plant
cell, or an animal cell, or one similarity in the Venn diagram.
