I just arrived from Sweden where I spent 6 months. I love learning languages and wanted to show a new world to my kids. I worked as an English teacher at one institution and as a substitute teacher for another. One day I substituted the 7th grade science teacher and they were learning about the cell and its structure. The students were working in pairs on a poster comparing the cell to anything they chose. First they had to draw the cell and the object they chose (ex:airplane) and then compare them. The drawing part was fine but some got stuck when it came to comparing. So I asked them questions like: What keeps outside things from entering an airplane? Through what part do passengers get into the airplane? How does the fuel get to the motor? How does the fuel get into the airplane? Where is it stored? What controls the functions of the airplane? This way, they clearly visualized, through their chosen object, how a cell functioned and could easily remember the cell parts. The students had fun doing the project. The synaesthetic and transliteration were clear to me. Moreover, the students were very active in the learning process, choosing an object that would help the better learn the cell and its structures. I think it was a perfect example of an effective multimodal class.
