Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.
Projects to extend learning.
Objective: To extend the learning by having students apply the concept to a new situation.
Activity:
1) Create a chart showing what other classes are doing at half-hour intervals.
2) Use a TV schedule (maybe Saturday mornings) to answer questions about different programs, the times they're on, what the clock would look like, etc.
3) Students make a poster showing daily class schedule including clock faces and time when different things are done.
4) Create a game, or add to one started from the previous wheel, that will help the class practice telling time.
Assessment: Quality and accuracy of student projects.
