Mrs. Reynolds is teaching the concept of arthropod to her students. She displays the definition, "Arthropods are cold-blooded animals with an exoskeleton, three body parts, and jointed legs." She then shows students pictures of a lobster, shrimp, ant, and spider, telling the students that they're arthropods. As an application of guided discovery, of the following, the best assessment of the
implementation of her lesson is:
a. it is consistent with guided discovery, since she used multiple representations of content (her pictures of the animals.)
b. it is inconsistent with guided discovery, since she merely told the students that the examples were arthropods.
c. it is inconsistent with guided discovery, since she provided the examples instead of having the students find the examples for themselves.
d. it is inconsistent with guided discovery, since understanding arthropods isn't an authentic task and therefore shouldn't be taught.
