Day+3

=__DAY 3 - AM__=

This morning we will explore cooperative learning and the benefits associated with it. As discussed, Social Studies requires a great deal of reading and presents a great deal of literacy challenges for students with LD's. Peer Assisted Learning Strategies, or [|PALS], is an evidenced based learning methodology that will help students work together to improve comprehension of social studies (and across the curriculum). After reviewing the [|Iris module]on PALS, you should be able to relay how you will implement PALS in your classroom.

This afternoon we will take a closer look at PALS: you will divide into groups (each of you taking a "PALS role"), and you will make a short presentation on the use of PALS in the social studies classroom. After each of your groups presents, we will revisit the idea of celebrating diversities within the classroom; we will watch the film [|Teach Me Different! Prizing Diversity]. The ultimate objective is to understand the varying needs of the students in your classroom and be able to apply what you have learned throughout these 3 days.
