  • Problem Statement:

    I wanted my students to apply their knowledge in coming up with innovave answers in class rather than depending on rote learning.

    Potenal Challenge

    Suggeson to overcome challenge

    Students may take me to shi from a rote approach to answer ing quesons differently.

    Constantly give examples of how you expect students to approach different quesons. Reinforce the detecve theme by narrang stories

    IMPACT SO FAR (according to teacher)

    Make detecve agencies the class

    theme.

    Integrate this theme into each acvity. eg. At the end of each lesson, say Case is closed.

    Reward them by appoinng the group

    to lead the class assembly,

    opportunity to tend the garden, etc.

    Mark the students based on their answers about the lesson being

    learnt in class.
