A Corwin Press Classroom Activity Book"
Practical, brain-compatible activities every elementary teacher can use!
Brain research has provided a tremendous opportunity to develop instructional techniques that facilitate the brain's innate learning capacity. As educators, we can take this knowledge and apply it to the strategies we use in our classrooms.
This essential resource, based on David A. Sousa's best-seller provides ready-to-use, brain-compatible activities that feature some of the following strategies:
- Graphic organizers
- Mnemonic devices
- Cooperative learning
- Movement to enhance retention
- Music to stimulate brain activity and creativity
These activities, correlated with national standards, cover all the content areas in grades 6-8 and include topics such as vocabulary, characterization, percentages, word problems, family history, historical research, mitosis, chemical equations, and much more!
The more we understand how the brain learns, the more instructional options we have. This unique resource helps you make the most of the brain's learning potential and transform your teaching practices to engage every student in your classroom.
