reflections on other groups

Group 1: food/ health
I LOVED how this group really made an effort to have DLT inform their lesson; they had physical examples of the food groups on the table, then showed an image, then placed the groups from the table into where they would fit and then went fully abstract by having us volunteer to provide examples. They did an awesome job fluctuating between abstract and concrete to get their point across. I think they also used it to their advantage with applying the behaviorist theory to the food on the table being rewards. Maybe could have had a bit more in relation to SLT??

Group 2: Homophones
They did a good job waiting for the class's attention and I liked how it wasn't just a lecture but rather directed questions to have the students reference their schemas to the topic. They had a good informing of SLT by having us discuss in groups and I really liked the riddles we got to solve

Group 3: Respect
This one was so cute! The book provided a concrete experience of respect and they also had us brainstorm how we as "kids" had maybe had our feelings disrespected on the playground or in other scenarios. I didn't really love how they made us all sit on the floor and kind of treated us like 5 year olds, I get that the lesson was for kids, but I didn't really want to have to dumb myself down to go through the experience.

Group 4: Alphabet
I liked the game of this and how behaviorist theory challenged us to be competitive made kids want to do the activity. But I think it would have helped to have it more structured, cause there was no order to who was suppost to take their turn when, which was frustrating. Also, I think socialist learning theory may have played a bit too much of a role in this lesson because it seemed like people were more interested in socializing than the activity at hand. Maybe the instructors could have said a little something on why the lesson was relevant to us, (or fruitful/ worth learning) so we would have stayed more focused.

Group 5: States
I struggled a little bit with how DLT fit into this since we didn't really get to see an experience or concrete representation. Maybe having a brief video of the state would have been a more concrete way, and it was just very repetitive. They did associate SLT in their lesson though, by letting us team teach and learn the state aspects together.
