10. Constructing a diorama
I thought that this lesson was very interesting due to nature of the medium used. Its is nice to see that teachers are being taught to use a variety of mediums such as architectural models. Also, the way that students are being engaged in the full process of the activity. I also think that it will give certain types of students ways to express their thoughts on their environment and situation. Over all I agree and believe that this student lesson is successful in all areas unless the students are not motivated to try something new. In which case it may be extremely difficult to engage them.
11. Totem Pole for social change.
I thought that this lesson had a great idea and I believe that author used a wonderfully rich heritage to teach children a little bit more about themselves. Many times the totem pole is more useful to those directly related to it than outside viewers. In a sense the children will also have this perspective because they will reflect on the revelations they make while constructing the project. This in itself is immensely valuable. Also, the project created should be pretty interesting ascetically and symbolically as well.
