Most misbehaviors can be prevented through appropriate and interesting instruction. The lesson initiation captured the students' attention and maintained their interest in the topic of the lesson. By displaying a large insect model of a grasshopper, I was able to motivate the students to pay attention and listen.
Models are very effective in stimulating curiosity.
They drew legs, antennae, and wings on the insect and labeled the parts. Actively involving students in activities promotes learning in a meaningful way. The students were gaining knowledge about the parts of an insect and having fun at the same time. This provided an opportunity to be creative because they were allowed to chose any combination of the three body parts to create a unique bug. I also asked questioned in a way that prevented blurting out answers.
