 * How Media will be used:**

In the five days in my classroom, I would like my student to become receptive to the topics that I bring up. I want to get my students interested in the different parts of the body and how they work in tandem with your brain to create psychological happenings every single day. I would like my students to stay focused on the projects & assignments at hand, so I will encourage them to work in groups and also play some fun & educational games that relate back to the topics that I'll be teaching. I would like to show movies and clips that will help the kids to relate the topics back to real life and get their minds going to try and figure certain things out. I want my students to be engaged in conversations that we will be having in class and I would like it if each students shared their opinion. I want my students to take time outside of class, as well, to do some extra reading and research about two topics that really peaked their interests.
