Reflection on Climate Change Presentation
Recently, I was involved in an assignment where we learned more about Climate Change. We were split up into groups where I had to become an expert on area where which is affected by climate change. I then would have to teach the rest of the classroom about this area and check for their understanding. We used the Jigsaw Method when completing this lesson. The area that my group was assigned with was oceans and coasts. We were given this format to use with the main points that we needed to cover when creating our presentation to teach the lesson. When my group met up together, we decided that each group member would be assigned a couple points that they would have to research and become experts at to contribute to the presentation. My role was to become an expert on the definitions of oceans and coasts, the history of both, the major threats to these areas, and the generalizations. My other group member also had an equal amount areas that she needed to become an expert at. Each member had a role and responsibility for this lesson and an equal amount of work to contribute.
Independently, I took notes and researched the areas that we assigned ourselves. I learned a lot about these the information regarding to oceans and coasts. We created a PowerPoint on Google Slides to share with one another so that we could each work on the slides together at any time. I condensed the information that I gathered and put it into a short amount of bullet points on the slides. I helped contribute to the pictures and colors that we incorporated into the presentation. I was able to find many pictures that was related to what I found in my research regarding oceans and coasts. My peer and I contributed slides on "Stop and Ponder" where after a certain amount of information is presented to the class, we will bring up review questions so that the students have a better understanding of what they are learning so far.
With all of our information gathered together, we realized that oceans and coasts are really being affected by climate change and we need to do something now to prevent sea level rising. In order to give our students the chance to learn more about climate change regarding oceans and coasts and extend the lesson even further, we provided programs that they could join to help protect oceans and coasts and a lesson plan that teachers can use in the classroom to demonstrate to students how oceans and coasts are being affected by climate change.The conclusion of our lesson included an Exit ticket which was a Google Forms quiz to test their knowledge on what they have learned. We each contributed questions to the quiz based on our combined information.
I felt that my peer and I worked very well together. It helped prove to me once again that the Jigsaw Method is extremely effective. Each member contributed an equal amount by becoming experts on what they had to research and contributed to the PowerPoint. The PowerPoint came out very well and engaging for the students. When we presented our lesson, it grabbed the students attention and I felt that the students did very well at the quiz. This is a great activity to do to incorporate the Jigsaw Method in the classroom.
