Hi Kathryn,

Thank you for sharing your post on interaction! The video that was discussed in your post is geared toward younger students and I like how you have taken into account the kind of interaction that would benefit students of this age group. I agree with you that younger students may not be effective at note taking and other activities can be done instead to help with knowledge retention. The activities you have suggested, such as the “think-pair-share” are brilliant and age-appropriate. Incorporating a visual demonstration of the concept of water vapour is likely to pique students’ interests and enhance their learning at a deeper level. In my personal experience as a student, I have always found that I’m much likelier to retain information if I used visual or experimental aids and therefore, performed much better on those topics. Great post, Kathryn!
