Chang and Cho's Lessons

Presenter: Max Chang

Objective: We were to learn about Finland and its focus/stance on recycling/environmental policies.

We read an article and told the class what we learned from it.

Effective communicator: We developed this skill by knowing what we wanted to say and saying it in a way that was concise and clear.

Critical thinkers/Problem solvers: To understand the article's contents, we had to think critically.

Community contributor: By sharing what we learned to the class, we contributed our pool of knowledge with everyone else, benefiting all.


Presenter: Kassy Cho

Objective: To give us some background knowledge on Danmark's history

Activity: We were made to do 'jig-saw'; everyone read a separate text and became experts at it. They then taught the rest of the class what they had learned.

Critical thinking/problem solving: We had to understand and pick out what was most important in our texts so that we could know what to summarize and what to focus on.

Effective communicator: We had to explain our texts in such a way that our fellows could understand, picking our words and ideas carefully.

Community contributor: Being the experts of our text, we were all key parts of the community. Each one of us had a part of the history of Denmark, making it so that we were all pieces of the Jigsaw puzzle.
