Because I love you....

I love my followers so much that, I had to share my....
Cause and Effect lesson from my PDAS.

PDAS- Texas Professional Development and Appraisal System; this our annual formal observation.

I have always disliked teaching Cause and Effect.  I understood the concept but I had a difficult time explaining it. I did a lot of research and made sure I understood it fully before attempting to do it for my PDAS.  So now I have mastered it, Bloom was right, I needed to synthesis Cause and Effect to really understand it to teach it.

I began with my Powerpoint, which I have included in this post.  There are instructor notes added to it.  If you want to use this lesson, I suggest you print it out in Notes form.  I have Teacher Talk points, I need those so I don't lose my thoughts. (LOL!)

I did a brief turn and talk as my focus and connect them with the day before's lesson. Then my main HOOK/Focus was this video from Ok Go- This Too Shall Pass. (Last year, I used this video for Science in for our Forces of Motion Lesson)  ***I love this group!!***

Ok, I apologize for my new-ness in blogging. I can't figure out how to put my powerpoint (PPT) on the post. If you are an interested follower, leave me a message at the bottom with your email address and I will send it.  This interactive PPT has moving graphics and has lots of teacher talking points.

Included in the PPT, I have talking points for the Read Aloud, I used on the book, One Hen by Katie Milway.

This book and this organization is FABULOUS!  (Read the reviews on Amazon.)

It is an amazing tale that depicts how one boy was able to reach a goal  that later helped his whole village.

If you are an interested,devoted follower,  leave me a comment with your email address to receive this PPT.

Happy Friday-Eve!
