Using a deck of cards and MacBook Airs one
health class achieved the following standards through student research.
FS1A: Investigate disorders, their treatments, and prevention techniques
to maintain a healthy sensory system (e.g., hearing loss, glaucoma, near and
far-sightedness, halitosis, numbness, and tingling).
Present information,
findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow the line of
reasoning and the organization, development, and style are appropriate to task,
purpose, and audience.
Each student was handed a
card at random and set to the task of determining the description, treatment,
or prevention of a sensory disease. The
lucky student with the Ace of Spades was the recorder on a collaborative Google
doc. This was a great method that combated the common practice of copy and
paste and really caused students to put the medical information into their own
words. The added bonus was the class discussion about personal experiences with
each that really added to the relevance. After each disorder the cards were shuffled and handed out again.
