The artifact that I have choosen for Characteristic #10 is the Rainforest three week unit plan that I designed in Education 400. Characteristic #10 for the novice teacher follows the guidlines such as the novice teacher being liberally educated because it covers multiple content areas and integrates technology. This artifact could have fit in several other Characteristics for the Novice teacher; however, Characteristic #10 was the best match. This particular unit covered several content areas such as science, visual art, and reading and language arts. Also, this unit plan integrated technology as well.
The Amazon Rainforest Unit Plan was designed to gain an awareness of the Amazon Rainforest. It allows students to use reading, science, and artistic skills to learn, explore, and assess their knowledge of the Amazon Rainforest. This unit also provides students with a variety of skills such as reading, writing, graphing, map reading, drawing, peer communication, and whole group discussions.

I agree with your choice of characteristic number 10. I also believe you could have used characteristic number 7 because it also covers multiple content areas as well as being pedagogically friendly. I would recommend keeping number 7 as an option for future assignments and portfolio production.
ReplyDeleteI understand your selection of Characteristic 10 but I do not read what you have planned in those areas to show that you have used technology and other subject areas. Is there a web site or web quest for technology? What type of math skills be addressed? Please make sure there is detail in the artifact when presented.
