Struggling Student

In my classes of 8th grade students, I have not necessarily observed students who struggle with the material, but seem to lack interest. Nothing against my host teacher, but the lessons aren't really built around student involvement. They are more lecture based. I believe by implementing different stratgies and activitys, the students will be more motivated and interested to learn the material. When teaching my lessons I'm going to get students involved by using group activities, and scenarios that will create meaning for all the students.

I don't really have any struggling students in the classes i've observed, but some of the students seem to lack interest. I believe this activity will grab the students interest because nutrition and media literacy is a personal issue that all students will deal with in the future. Also it gives students the freedom to choose their favorite food, and to examine what is in it and who what audience the advertisers are aiming at. The main idea of the lesson is getting the students involved, and I believe that is a great strategy to ensure the knowledge from the lesson is retained.
