Sample+2.02

I chose this as my medium work sample because it shows effort, good initial understanding. I like the fact that there were two examples. The first example of a girl running is common. I noticed that nearly all of the examples that I colleted from this activity were of living things or things having to do with life (e.g. “carbohydrates have energy”). I should have asked if only living things have energy, but I missed that opportunity. What I like about the second example of the light bulb is the mention of a non-living thing having energy. A light bulb clearly does have energy. The lessons in this unit will help clarify her ideas about energy. I also hope that I can aid my students’ ability in articulating themselves clearly. Some of the writing samples I received from this activity were frightening.
