Example of complexity would be having the students compare two landforms and tell me how they are similar and different

Sense and Meaning

Meaning:Real World Connections

Create Models

Memory

Volcanoes and the chunking method.

Landforms > volcanoes> eruption

Emotion The students emotion of excitement

will help the students remember› Volcano eruption› Landforms (Trip)

These are both positive emotions that will stimulate the frontal lobes (Sousa, 2011)

Motivation

The students will have a problem that they need to convince someone to go to a landform in the US.

Problem-based learning boosts motivation. (Sousa, 2011).

They will be creating a volcano rather then just listening to how a volcano erupts.

They will be working on the computer and technology is a motivator.

› Temporal Lobes: Communicating with peers, recognizing the landforms

› Occipital Lobes: Videos to process

› Parietal Lobes: Spatial recognition for the model volcano.
