About Me
- Martha Thibodeau
- Having been in the regular classroom for 22 years, I appreciate the complexities of teaching today. For the last three years I have been a Certified eMINTS Trainer/Mentor and my job is to coach teachers in using inquiry-based teaching in a technology-rich environment. Working with 19 different school districts is a challenging job, but one I look forward to every day.

this could be both:
.literacy...if the activity is just random...students just perform skills
.adaptation...if the activity follows instruction of disecting lab...guidelines for observation, etc.; supplants a real disecting lab
Jen - I also think it is both literacy and adaptation because it is an instructional "game" and the activity is for when students have finished their "real" work.
I would weigh in on the side of literacy. I think that the teacher's attitude about "real" work shines through. The frog dissection is a reward and not a part of the lesson.
I think this is literacy, the purpose of the frog dissection is purley as a reward as written. It might be moving into adaptive if we knew what the initial lesson was about
