Motion and Relative Position

Motion and Relative Position

Introducing the motion and relative position unit with this engaging and interactive lesson allows students to demonstrate their understanding of relative position. Being a new teacher to the Sun West School Division, I wanted to submit an artifact that included most of the 21st century competencies focused on within the division thus far. Within this introduction lesson, students will use their creativity and collaboration skills to create a collage that demonstrates their understanding of relative position. Since students are using technology to complete the learning activity, they are also practicing their digital citizenship skills. The digital citizenship elements that are addressed within this lesson are: digital access (element of respect) and digital rights and responsibilities (element of protect). Students are demonstrating an understanding that using technology is a right, not a privilege and that they must work together on the IPads to complete a task. Students will also demonstrate an understanding that the IPads are being used as a learning tool, so they must only use them as instructed.
