Hello Anthony- For this project let me know which Edison Recording you would like to use. I am heading out of town for the 4th this Friday so I would like to get everything finished or close to finished before then. I will be back online later tonight after work. Let me know and we can get rolling on this. Andrea

Hi Andrea, I also will be real busy this week. I will be out of town starting tomorrow morning until Thursday late afternoon then out again Friday til Monday. So I AGREE! We can work on it tonight or maybe Thursday evening? I just listened to a few pieces, but do not have any specific piece that I like most. I will be on later tonight also to get more work done.

Anthony

Andrea, What grade do you teach? If it is a younger grade, there is an audio for "Three little bears". I teach Kindergarten and that would be great for me! Let me know. If you are elementary that may be a winner! Anthony

Anthony I teach high school but we will work with the audio for "Three Little Bears." If I want to use something like this in my classroom I can adapt and relate it to my age group with no problem. Andrea

Anthony I posted my NARA worksheet above for you to take a look at based on the "Three Little Bears." My answer to the first question is written below in pink. What are your thoughts? Applications to your classrooms? The second question will allow us to collaborate and see different ways we could use the audio across our different age groups since you teach elementary and I teach high school. I have posted two ideas for high school age students. Anthony found this audio to be extremely applicable to his age group and I wanted a challenge to see if I could apply this to my age level of students in high school. I believe this is a tool I could use in my health classroom as both an example prior to a project and a way to incorporate teaching morals/lessons through different pathways not just saying, "Hey you shouldn't do that."
 * Describe your reasons for selecting this particular recording. Explain why you believe this recording could be effective with students.

This recording stuck out for me as a Kindergarten teacher, because first it is age appropriate, and could be utilized in teaching Language Arts or also Social Studies in my classroom..

Idea 1- (Health, 9th graders) This could be used as a warm-up in health class to faciliate discussion about lessons students should learn/know prior to entering high school. This would be a great ice breaker for the first day of classes. Analyze the story of the "Three Little Bears" and what lesson/moral is teaching students.
 * Describe at least 5 ways the recording you selected could be used in the classroom. Try to expand ideas for different subject areas and/or grade levels. For each lesson idea, include a brief description of how this activity could help promote critical thinking skills in students.

Idea 2-(Student Service Learning or Field Trip to Elementary School with Health Class) Warm-Up-Listen to the "Three Little Bears" as an example of how to create a story which teaches a lesson. Create a short story to share with younger children (elementary level) which will teach a basic lesson to the children. Using a recorder create your narrative then edit and add any effects necessary. Present story to the elementary school and then facilitate a discussion with the children on the lesson/moral of the story.

Idea 3- Language Arts "Three Little Bears" would be a great resource to use in the classroom. It could be used by having the students listen to the story, and then as a whole discuss the setting, characters, and comprehension.

Idea 4- Social Studies "Three Little Bears" could also be used in social studies when we discuss social skills such as touching persons belonging, and how to ask if you do want to touch or play with someone elses belongings. I could also discuss with the students what the proper reaction would be if someone was touching your belongings without asking.

Idea 5- Language Arts After listening to "Three Little Bears" the students could write a story about how they would act if someone found someone in their house, during safety week. This is a really cool idea to use with safety week. The students would really be able to relate to the story and someone breaking into their house, touching their own personal belongings. It allows them to get a personal perspective on the story and topic. Andrea, Looks like we are getting this done. I have a question though. Where are we to post the this? It is saying on a separate wiki page? I am confused. Do you know where we post this? Anthony
