Continental Drift Gondwana was an ancient supercontinent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. It was made of many continents that we know today.

Gondwana was made up of 5 main pieces; Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica. Gondwana existed roughly 300-180 million…

The NSW Department of Education (DoE) has developed a Quality Teaching Framework (QTF) to assist in ensuring students experience quality learning whilst benefiting those of all abilities, regardless of cultural and linguistic differences. This paper will demonstrate the relationship between the QTF and those students with English as an additional language/dialect (EAL/D). According to research on Quality Teaching by Killen (2009), there has been a continuous strive in refining teaching models…

Over the last five weeks, my understanding of SSGH education has changed a lot. When I was younger, all I ever remember about SSGH was lecturing, reading an analysis of a historical document or article, and then filling out worksheets. While they were all valid strategies, they didn't leave a lasting impression on me, because while I'm sure I can read an article and analyze it today, I doubt I can recall any of the information without prompts. Over the course of this course, I have learned…

I will incorporate a jigsaw strategy for the guided practice portion of this lesson. There are six pods of four students in this class, so I will assign each pod one of the remaining six habits. Each of the four students will be assigned to become an expert in one of the four graphic organizer topics, and they will use the book as a resource to complete the box. I will go from group to group asking guiding questions, answering questions, and helping struggling students; students may help others…

and this reverses the situation where competition prevails (Brown, 1986)." Sophie Fielding (Quote from Gross) One attempt to alter the classroom experience in order to realise equal-status contact and mutual co-operation was done using the jigsaw classroom technique by Aronson et al (1978). In this technique children were put in small, mixed race learning groups, each member of each group were given material, which represented one piece of the lesson to be learned. Each individual…

throughout the movie, was a word that many viewers might have let slip away without really taking into consideration what it could mean. Rosebud was the last word to come out of Charles Kane’s mouth before his death and truly just another piece to a jigsaw puzzle. It had many meanings and many memories that were so dear to Charles Kane. Rosebud and its last memory is what made Kane the man he is known to be- strong, stubborn, strict, and powerful. When Charles Kane, played by Orson Welles, was…

The way Kamilia Lackberg introduced her characters in the book and how they appeared in the book. One of the best ways to understand the difference between Swedish writing style and American, writing style using a jigsaw puzzle as an example. American writing style is like a jigsaw puzzle that can be solved easily, goes straight forward and easy to put the pieces together in order to get the final picture. The Swedish writing style unlike American writing style is hard to put together. It’s one…

Simba with his flowing mane gazing upon the image of Mufasa painted in the clouds. This is the earliest Disney image carved in my mind. I spent hundreds of hours working on completing a massive jigsaw puzzle that my dad brought home from one of his travels. I remember how proud he was, and how accomplished I felt when I showed him the final result. Imagine my disappointment when a single piece went missing; Zazu’s beak. No matter what I did, I could not bring the beauty of the image back.…

“Excellence in education is when we do everything that we can to make sure they become everything that they can.” This is a quote from 2012 by Carol Ann Tomlinson, the founder of differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction is not a new concept, it has been done by teachers for decades but not by all teachers, most were teaching to the middle, the average student, Tomlinson taught teachers how to teach to all the students, not just the majority. Since then, several educators have taken…
