“The Minions” developed a didactic sequence in which they
used ‘Jigsaw’ Cooperative Learning Technique. As a subject they chose Music
(spesifically orchestra) which is a rich sensory learning environment.
Even if it couldn’t be actualized in the classroom successfully because of the technical reasons I think the idea of using classical music in the first session was very good. Because classical music brings the students into the optimum mental state for the effortless acquisition of the material.
In the second session the base groups were seperated to form the expert groups. In this session the idea of conceptual map activity was also good. Because a concept map is a visual organization and representation of knowledge. It shows concepts and ideas and the relationships among them. It helps the expert groups to make a brainstorming together and put together all the information that they have. Each member can add something to the concept map and by this way they can feel themselves important and this feeling may motivate them.
In the third session in which students returned to their base groups, I can not remember if they had an activity or not.
Lastly I like the idea of individual diary. Because in this way, children can find the opportunity of writing their own thoughts and thinking about their learning and writing things down can help them to clarify their thoughts.
In conclusion I like all the ideas but I think to actualize at least one of these activities would be better. Because instead of talking about the activities and materials, showing them in the classroom would be much more effective.
