Vision for Unit

By creating this unit, we want our students to know and experience that:

Our sense organs make us aware of things around us, making us capable to describe how living things interact with each other and with the environment.

To identify functions of the different parts of the sense organs eventually make us also aware of our individual roles in the community.

Project Approaches

As my students work on this project, they will

●Use media analysis skills to evaluate shown video clips to effectively manage common problems with our society and advocate for self and others.

Use media analysis skills to evaluate shown video clips to effectively manage common problems with our society and to advocate for self and others. To do this, they will be engaged in a collaborative work by pairs to produce a collage which would contain their answers to specific questions raised as concerns to the video clip shown.

21st Century Learning

We will gather information on higher-order thinking and 21st century skills:

● Through providing clear and understandable vision of this unit’s target to give students opportunities where they can be able to use their human sense organs in being concern to what is really happening to our environment nowadays.

Our Goals for the Course

Purpose of the Assessment To gather information about what students

already know and what they wonder about human sense organs.

Learn about different functions of five sense organ that will motivate my students

Find ways to get my students to do more higher-order thinking

Learn some strategies for helping students do projects from other teachers

Goals for My Students

We want to find out what they already know about the Unit Questions and what they know about the five senses’ importance.

Make purposeful observation of the natural world using the appropriate sense.

Request for Feedback

Critical need of time for teachers to reflect for finding instructional strategies that will represent the full range of knowledge and skills of the instruction, targeting the application of the challenge presented with the EU.

Need to provide students with information about their performance that can promote their essential abilities they can apply in our fast changing world.
