Answer to Insert the symbols Conundrum:

Insert +, -, X, and/or parentheses between the numbers to find the total.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 - 8 + 9

=   29

Today's Conundrum:

This is a difficult one!

Linen Closet Clean-out:

Bunmi was moving and decided to downsize her bed sheet collection before packing up her belongings.  She gave her friend, Ola 3 pairs plus a half of pair of sheets.  Her friend, Mide received half of what she had left plus a half a pair of sheets, and finally her friend Adebola was given half of what remained, plus a half a pair of sheets.  This meant Bunmi had no more sheets in the linen closet.  How many sheets did Bunmi start with?

I wish I actually had more time in this School Year to try out my RILS with my students, but unfortunately, I do not.  I guess the bright side of that is the fact that I have plenty of time to work out all of the kinks and perfect the assignment (at least make it better and easier to understand) before it gets set into motion.  I am glad that I was able to discover Glogger through the ETC Course and it has given me an alternative to paper and pencil final examination.  I like project-based assessment, because there is a show me piece rather than a regurgitate aspect.  I enjoy watching students use their knowledge to create a product that they can be proud of and say, "Look what I did!"


My RILS was to have students create a Glog page to demonstrate their knowledge of one of the following Human Body Systems:

a.    Cardiovascular

b.   Digestive

c.    Endocrine

d.   Female reproductive

e.    Immune

f.     Integumentary

g.    Male reproductive

h.    Muscular

i.      Nervous

j.     Respiratory

k.    Skeletal

l.      Urinary

For the system, they must address the following:

• 
  
  

  1. Functions of the system in general
• 
  
  

  1. Major component organs and their respective functions

IN ADDITION, They need to include a list of four possible dysfunctions/diseases of their chosen system and elaborate on one to include:

• Causes

• Symptoms

• Diagnosis

• Treatment

• Prognosis

The rubric for evaluation is below:

Please feel free to use this rubric and evaluate the Glog posted under PE4_Glogger and respond with any comments you may have.  Thank you.  Again, I am dissatisfied with the overall look of the final product, but I feel that it addresses the aspects upon which the rubric is evaluating it.

The objectives for the lesson were as follows:

At the end of this scenario the learner will be able to:

·  List the major components and their functions of the chosen Human Body System.

·  Describe a disease or disorder of the chosen body system to include Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prognosis

·  Design a glog which demonstrates their understanding of the chosen system and can effectively convey the material to new learners.
