Students generally have a difficult time with the conceptualization of the process.
Interactive questioning strategies were integrated to formatively assess student learning and a muscle song was distributed and sung to reinforce concepts and heighten learning motivation. A chapter summative examination was given at the end of the discussion unit. The concept is complex, and students typically have difficulty understanding and visualizing the mechanism. I have used examples of golf clubs, beads, and buttons to enhance the visualization process of this aspect of muscle function. By modifying this plan, my goals are to increase student understanding of the concept, challenge students to become more actively involved in the acquisition of knowledge, and heighten student interest in the process of learning.
