Give examples of how you could help your students use their imaginations to learn.
\n
\nVisualization is important for abstract thinking because children that use their imagination, prior knowledge, and pictures are able to connect to the information a lot faster.
\nChildren with autism have a very difficult time with abstract thinking because it involves predicting, understanding emotions and forming an opinion on their own. If I were to ask a question that has one correct answer it would be no problem for the child to answer. Those questions that require "thinking out of the box" are much more difficult. This is why it is so important to us role play, social stories, pictures, books, felt stories, puppets, list the steps and use A LOT OF COLOR!!!","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"12894895","dateCreated":"1245416130","smartDate":"Jun 19, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"kristensliker","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kristensliker","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/emmotteagles.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/12894895"},"dateDigested":1532426463,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Question 6","description":"What are some ways that your lessons engage multiple senses?
\n
\nI think it is important to address every type of learner each time I teach. For the kinesthetic learners it is important to have a lot of movement in my lessons. For those visual learners it is important to have a lot of pictures. For example, I like to use Boardmaker pictures for the steps in a lesson. Those students that are auditory learners I like to use songs and chants for new information.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"12897405","body":"Twila Jackson ~ I find it important to address every type of learners\u2019 modality each time I teach so to reach all students. Some ways my lessons engage the kinesthetic learners is to engage them in some type of movement in my lessons. It may be a hand movement, a thumbs up\/down, a dance or wiggle, a stand up\/sit down, a come to floor\/go to the table, show a pop cycle stick or index card to respond to questions, or a turn to the left\/right to share with someone. It may even be to toss a ball to someone or to go give your team a point on the board. I use manipulatives to practice newly acquired skills and individual Dry Erase boards to write answers.
\n
\nSome ways my lessons engage the visual earners is to engage them in reading from posters which are usually accompanied with colorful pictures for each subject. I use technology such as the Elmo and projector to demonstrate and to enlarge books, the Smart Board and projector, the T.V., and the overhead projector. I and\/or the students may act it out personally. I use different color markers when writing on posters, transparencies, and the Dry Erase board to add clarity, emphasis, and variety. I use different color markers to add graphics and diagrams to lessons. students use a individual Dry Erase boards, game materials, and computers. I use a stop watch on the T.V., or on the Elmo.
\n
\nSome ways my lessons engage the auditory learners is to engage them through songs, chants, and poems, I like to use tape recorded songs\/chants\/pomes\/oral directions\/pleasant background meditation music while working on seatwork or are engaged in activities, to provide correction tapes where students who have completed math seatwork are provided feedback, and to listen and respond to comprehension questions. I use videos\/DVDs of topics and my story telling abilities to teach\/share new information.

\n
\nWhen students come to me in PPCD I have to make the assumption that most of the children do not have a lot of prior info on most information. For those that do have prior experiences there is the possibility that they will not remember those experiences.
\nI remember my first year teaching PPCD I was talking about snow and going on and on...I had 2 children looking at me like a deer in the headlights. That night I started to think that they have probably never seen or been in snow. I then gathered pictures of me in snow as well as pictures from magazines. I also brought in winter clothes and a ski. That next day after re-teaching and showing the pictures and artifacts the children understood. It is so important for me to bring in "real" materials and pictures when introducing a new theme.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"12899775","body":"When I am presenting new information, I try to assume that my kids do not know much about the subject, so that I can be as specific as possible.

\nI taught a lesson about story elements. Most of my kids were giving me that blank stare, so I started asking them about their favorite books. Some said Judy Moody and others said Dr. Seuss. I explained to them that the authors did not just sit down and start writing books. Instead they had to figure out what characters would be in the story. What problem the character would be faced with and how that problem would be solved. The students were much more engaged because they found that "fit".","dateCreated":"1245446110","smartDate":"Jun 19, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"sarahhood23","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/sarahhood23","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"12894831","dateCreated":"1245415081","smartDate":"Jun 19, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"kristensliker","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kristensliker","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/emmotteagles.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/12894831"},"dateDigested":1532426463,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Question 3","description":"What are some ways you might use a lesson's content and activities to help students develop the cognitive structure of memorization?
\n
\nI think the cognitive structure of memorization is so important for the foundation of learning to read! I like to use memory games, in PPCD I have 6 cards (3 matches) over the theme we are learning and the children love to play the game. I think songs also help to build memorization; the ABC's is a perfect example. It is also important to relate what you are trying to teach to something the children enjoys and can connect to. Lastly, I believe pictures help to build memorization. In PPCD I use pictures along with the vocab. for everything. When a child sees a picture of themselves along with their name, they will eventually recognize their name without a picture.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"12894769","dateCreated":"1245414221","smartDate":"Jun 19, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"kristensliker","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kristensliker","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/emmotteagles.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/12894769"},"dateDigested":1532426463,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Question 1","description":"What are some ways that you might help your students develop reflective awareness and visualization during your lessons?
