Now extend your thinking on the often misunderstood concept that you have chosen. Can you think of an analogy that could help your learners to make sense of the concept? Does this analogy take into account where students are coming from in their previous experiences? Or how could you break that concept down into bite-size chunks so your students can more easily digest that harder-to-acquire information?
Outline your misunderstood concept and then identify and expand on how you would explain your concept through an analogy. Add your ideas to your learning journal, create a blog post, or use any other platform of your choosing to capture your thinking.
As evidence of completion, please add a link or a copy of your response to your Extend NZ blog or portfolio.
