Explain, in your own words, what “processing activities” are and how they contribute to a coherent curriculum.
-
A processing activity is an activity that helps a student apply and engage in thinking about things that have been taught and discussed. These contribute to a coherent curriculum by ensuring that the lessons are building upon what has already been taught as opposed to memorizing material for tests and moving on.
-
Processing activities are the third component in the core model. This is the part where we check for students’ understanding of the material that has been taught. This process takes time and effort. This can also be used to check for biblical understanding as well.
-
Processing activities are those activities in which the students will stop after doing the activity and reflect on why they did the activity and what they learned from it. They really take time to think about what they just did and the significance of it. This contributes to a coherent curriculum by having the students involved in explaining the benefits of the activity they just did. It was not just doing an activity for the sake of doing an activity.
-
It gives time for students to reflect on what they have learned. It ties it back to the big questions in life and reflecting on that.
-
Prosessing activities are activities that allow students to reflect and reivew what they have learned. For example, when we have exit tickets after a lesson.
