Today, we discussed creating a responsive classroom through “emergent curriculum＂and how to manage challenge cases in a classroom. Romina, a fellow student, shared a story regarding a difficult time she had with 45 students for 5 hours in an auditorium. It was very Interesting. Class in Korea have more than 50 students. I was surprised to learn of problems of behavior or discipline in American schools because Korean students are very respectful to teachers. Korean students behave in the classroom and discipline is not an issue. I am wondering, has lowering the number of students in the classroom resulted in a positive effect in classroom management. In this example, we looked for various textures in/out of classroom and rub with a white candle on a paper. We could not see the exact shapes upon rubbing wax upon certain textures or surfaces. For a more complete picture we painted using watercolors.
This exercise was fun and exciting. I thought this could be a great motivation for students.
