Identify a grade level at which you might teach. Pick a topic you might teach at that grade level and explain how you might teach it through discovery or inquiry learning. In your explanation, incorporate at least three strategies that the textbook recommends for these approaches
What will be an ideal response?
The response should include a specific grade level and a specific topic to be taught at that level. It should describe how that topic might be taught using discovery or inquiry learning in sufficiently concrete terms that you have a fairly good idea of what would occur during the lesson. Although students' responses are apt to vary considerably, their approaches should incorporate at least three of the following ideas:
• Students have the knowledge they need to interpret their findings appropriately.
• The teacher provides some structure to guide students' discovery activities.
• Puzzling results arouse students' curiosity or in some other way motivate students.
• The activity is sufficiently structured that students can proceed logically to the desired discoveries.
• Students record their findings.
• Students are encouraged to relate their findings to academic concepts and principles.
