Food & Nutrition Sites Review (Adila)
this site offers as a very useful guide for us educatorsthere are only 4 different subheading catogories shown below
on the website, the subheadings also include
`school issues
`education world at home
`lifestyle/ market place
`early childhood
(click on pictures to visit the respective websites )
i have decided to explore the lesson planning section
i'll now proceed to share some of my favourite teaching tips
#1: Implementation of Exit Slips
as stated on the page above, teachers are encouraged to produce exit slips for each student to take home to parentsthis exit slip will prevent the common situation where students do not know what to answer when they're parents ask "what did you learn in school today?"
i believe that this is a good practice for students to recap what they have learnt each day
perhaps the teachers can include the lesson's objectives in the exit slips for parents to sign against
#2: Avoid Getting the Same Old Excuses
in this case, students who repetitively hand in work late will be asked to submit a written excuse that includes the date, the assignment, the reason it has not been turned in, and their signature
the teacher will collate these excuse papers and can show it to parents during Parent-Teacher-Meetings (PTMs)
furthermore, students won't feel comfortable in writing down a repetitive excuse as it'll be stating their obvious laziness
these excuse papers will rob the students from abusing the liberty in handing work late
#3: Providing Absentee Assistants
we were all students before
therefore, we're familiar with the hassle of having to catch up with school's work when we were absent for a day
the implementation of absentee assistants will parish this problem for good
student representatives will carry an assignment form from class to class and record the work done during the period and any homework assignments
at the end of the day, that page may be copied and shared with all students who were not present
this process will help us teachers too
we won't need to scramble to gather assignments for absent students when parents requests for them
as an alternative, students could create a colourful bag to be placed at a corner of the class
all the assignments and notes on due dates could be placed in this bag for the absentee to collect when they come back
stated above are only 3 out of the 31 help for homework hassle tips
this website is a really handy tool filled with teaching tips more than we can imagine
i had a lot of fun learning new tips for possible future use
Rating of Education World: 4/5 stars
-------------------------------------------
this second site is a really interesting one
it offers us a substitute recipe, an easier one at that, for our favourite famous dishes
as we all know, most famous recipes are top secret
most of the times, we don't mind forking out the extra moolahs for the divine pleasure of consuming our favourite food
the best part is, we do not have to leave the comfort of our own home and these recipes are absolutely FREE
you should give this website a try and browse through the available categories in the sidebar as shown below
i'll share with you my top 3 favourite recipes
(you can click on the pictures to visit the page)
imagine getting to use these recipes in Home Econs classesif i were a student, i'll definitely be a little more hyped up as compared to having prepare fried rice
=D
if you have any not-so-secret-recipes to share, the website allows you to add them to their collection
of course as a nutrition-educated individual, i would recommend tweaking the recipes a little to improve the nutritive value of the dishes
Rating of CopyKat: 4/5 stars
all in all, i would use both above mentioned sites as a guide to build up my resources when i teach Home Economics/ Food & NutritionHave Fun Exploring!
