✅ NO PLANNING: This lesson is already planned and ready to go. Simply give students their workbook and follow the guides in the lesson plan. Get your time back and focus on the important stuff; the students!
✅ A Complicated Topic Made Easy: This resource was built for students who want to know more about Brain-Computer Interfacing but may find the topic too complex. The layout and presentation of this resource scaffolds learning through a series of vocabulary, main idea, supporting details, and reading checks to build awareness of the topic slowly, all before getting to the critical thinking questions. Using this slow-release formula, students are less stressed when reading and more aware of their own pace of learning.
✅ Reading Tasks and Activities that Actually Work: The structure of this reading resource purposefully puts the students first and gets them to read, answer text-dependent questions, AND participate fully in their own learning by making the topic of artificial intelligence more personal for them. With questions like ”How do the fictional examples of mind control compare to your understanding of BCI?”, students will be inspired to go beyond the topic and learn more.
✅ Read and Link to Real-World Issues Facing Society: Students will not only be reading about BCI technology and how it is incorporating itself in society, they will also work towards linking the information they learn during the reading with society and the world.
The lessons starts with a ‘Big Picture’ theme and question that orients students to the topic of Brain-Computer Interfacing. While reading, their confidence level of the topic grows, and they then can offer an answer to the question at the lesson.
Big Picture Theme & Question for this Reading Passage on BCI:
- Convergence – As BCI technology converges with our brains, how might our understanding of what it means to be human change?
