Teacher Notes
In 1973 I was asked to teach a lesson in a television
studio for a Career Education series. Not too far from our school was a huge
housing project under construction (Starrett City). I decided to focus
on that building project. I enlisted the Art teacher to help the students create
a model of the 46 buildings. I had the
Math and
Science teachers do lessons
on the construction and engineering features. The
Language Arts teacher helped
the students develop good questions for the speakers I had invited to talk with
the students. The speakers including the project manager, several construction
supervisors and an architect. The lesson went extremely well and it was a good
way to involve many different subject areas. The
Spanish classes helped translate
our project for spanish-speaking people
(I wish to thank you for
all of the work which you did in preparing the youngsters of Class 8-A to
participate in the televised lesson which you taught at Station WNYE Channel 25
TV...from my Principal)
(Three years later I received this from a former student)
“Hi, I just had to write! The most fascinating thing just happened. I was
sitting on the couch watching cable television when a familiar face came on the
screen. It was yours! My, you haven’t changed in the least bit.”
One day I walked into my classroom
and found a window with a bullet hole in it. I found the bullet lodged in a
wall in the room. I put a sign on the window: Trace the trajectory of the
bullet. I had the Math & Science teacher help me determine where the bullet was
fired from. Cross curricular teaching!
