Unit 2 Deliverable: Entry Characteristics

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July! I had a great day! I spend the day at my family's cottage and then my family and I went to watch the Boyne City fireworks. :)

This blog post will be a continuation of analyzing learners. This entry will discuss entry characteristics, which are the abilities and prior knowledge of the learners. Below discusses the entry characteristics of the students in the 6th grade science classroom at Avalon Middle School.

Entry Characteristics:

The students in the classroom at Avalon Middle School all have iPads. The school has had them for two years now and therefore most students should be familiar with this technology. The school also has two computer labs, which students have access to. In their elementary education, these students should have learned about the harmful and helpful interactions between organisms in relation to food and shelter. Students should have also been introduced to the role organisms play in a food web/chain. In addition, the students should have learned how the environment affects the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce. Furthermore, prior to beginning this unit on ecosystem, students will have been given a pretest to assess their knowledge in this content.
