Teaching tomorrow!!!

[SEEDS at UC Berkeley]

Hey everyone,

Tomorrow is our first lesson at Malcolm X Elementary School!!

If you are getting a ride from Kristina or Yekun, please be at the West Circle (Northwest corner of VLSB, in adjacent to Eucalyptus Grove and LSA) before 8:15am. Remember to bring all your teaching materials. If you are using videos, make sure you downloaded them already because there is no wi-fi for you in the classroom. If you're biking, wait outside the school so we can all sign in as visitors together.

Sorry for such a late reminder, but it should all go smoothly. You will all be awesome experts on Community Interactions.

Here's an excerpt from an old email about the lesson:

 

Our set date is Tuesday March 15th, 8:40am-10:10am. I know a few of you need to leave early, but still the timing should work out well for all of us. 

Kristina can drive people from campus, also the Ashby Bart station is 3 blocks away from Malcolm X Elementary School. We need to be there by 8:30am.

Meriel and I intend to bike there, and you are welcome to join. My number is (858) 208-9251.

Here's the plan:

**15 minute Introduction - developed by Kristina

**Hand out Journals - also developed by Kristina

**4x 15 minutes - Each teacher/teaching pair gets 15 minutes to teach about their interaction to a group of 5 students. We will rotate stations instead of having the children rotate.

    Mutualism : Meriel

    Commensalism : Kelsey/Ciana

    Predation : Grace/Tiffany

    Competition : Mauna/Yekun

**15 minutes - Card game - Kristina, Loralee, Stephanie - Each student gets a card, which has a photo of an organism and a description of an interaction it is involved in. They have time to read the card then find the student whose card is the partner organism. At the end each pair will tell the rest of the class what kind of interaction they have.

Thanks everyone!!
