1) What is the best teaching method a first grade teacher can use?
2) Best: better than other options available and tried, better because it was the choice that came out with the most satisfying results according to the subject who tried the choices, it can be bases upon facts or personal opinion depending the person/people. Teaching Method: A specific form of teaching used to teach a certain subject(s), a certain technique used to accomplish one's objective.
3) A possible answer I know of so far is teaching through activities that allow children to interact with what was taught. Two other possible answers are teaching through approved eduactional videos, such as the Magic School Bus and teaching directly from the book (orally explaining what's in the book and how to work the activities/problems inside).
4) What has been my most important source is the encyclopedia article "Teacher Education" by Encyclopedia Britannica (unkown author). It has been the most important source because it helped me decide on what my essential question should be. Before school began, I had a few ideas on what my essential question should be, and the one I have in number one was among them. In the encyclopedia article, it made me raise the question what is the most important/effective teaching method a first grade teacher/general teacher has used (and still does)?
Best should be specific to teaching. How do you know a teacher is a good one? Also, method...what are some of the different methods. You talk about this a bit later. Keep looking for other methods that are used. You know, for your independent component, you might be able to observe in a variety of first grade classrooms or even primary classrooms. Do you have transportation?
