Students should have some form of understanding of
overcrowding in classrooms.
Going off of recent events, the fire alarm may go off. This will
delay the lesson and cause us to stop at whatever point we are at.
The power could possibly go out therefore, we will not be able
to use the projector to display the presentation.

does the assessment task
provide? What feedback will
you provide the students?)
We are not looking for a right
answer to the question. The
main objective of this
discussion is to see what the
varying views are of reasons
behind the crowding in
classrooms.
There is no exact answer to
this discussion. The priority is
to see how they support their
reasoning based on the

paying attention.
Students will be sitting in seats at the start of class. A
presentation will be loaded onto the front of the classroom. The
PowerPoint has information on reports of overcrowding in
different grades, what the effects of this issue are on the student
and teacher, and solutions on how to deal with this problem if
faced with it. During the presentation there are two videos which
highlight the issues that are being discussed so students can have
a better understanding. There will also be two discussion
questions: “What do you believe are some of the effects of
overcrowding in a classroom?” and “Considering the effects of
overcrowding, what do you think some solutions or ways to
prevent it could be?”. This will make the lesson more interactive
instead of just having presenters disperse knowledge the entire
duration.
Students will be asked to complete an exit ticket. They will have
