I am currently introducing the concept of visualization to my class. If you have read my previous post you know it is a weeklong introduction full of fun!
As I am now in my second year teaching it this way I have tweaked my lesson plans. If you downloaded them last time you will see that I have changed my materials - no more hamburger…I use salsa now. It's easier and you don't have to heat it up for the smell. This year I also had my students get to Quick Draw on the second day after describing my brother's stinky shoes and messy room. The students are really catching on and so I wanted to move past just talking more quickly. So below are my revised lesson plans.
I'm sure you never take something and use it exactly without tweaking it...but I wanted to show how I change my lessons as I adapt to a new group of students each year. Here are some pictures of my students' illustrations after I told them about the stinky shoes:
Also, here is an attachment with links to the sounds I use during the second week of visualization. I play the sounds periodically throughout the week and have the students Quick Draw the sounds in their learning journals. I rarely use all the sounds...but it's nice to have them in case your class needs more practice.
As always, happy teaching ~
