Discussion

Objective: The student will realize his/her normal expenditure of time in a day.

Activity: Discussion. Once the wheels are complete, discuss student findings. . . . How much time do you spend sleeping? After eliciting responses, show students that if they get the normal 8 hours of sleep each night, they are using 1/3 of their 24 hours in a day. . . . How much time do you spend in school? After rounding off the estimated time going to and from school as well as being in school, the average student at Nipher spends 7 hours a day at school are added to the 8 spent sleeping, they represent 15 hours a day which are 'set in stone.' That is, students don't have much choice over how they spend these hours. . . . How much time do you have left? Nine hours remain. All other daily activities fit into these nine hours. . . . What other things do you have to do during a normal day? Think of chores, lessons, sports teams, personal hygiene, etc. Add up these times and subtract them from the nine hours which remained. The result represents the amount of time which the student has to spend in the way he/she likes.

Assessment: Student responses during the discussion provide a measure of his/her understanding of daily time allocations.
