The final exam consisted of groupwork between educators of different disciplines. My group consisted of English, mathematics and myself, a science educator.
Our task was to come up with interdiscplinary activities for students regarding the future of U.S. healthcare. We came up with using economics to encompass math, the pharmaceutical industry to take care of science, specifically chemistry and english takes both of these topics and transforms it into an innovative and coherent presentation.
I valued the ideas of my colleagues. I specifically liked the idea of the students presenting their final projects a group of parents and video taping it. In this way the students understand that their work will be looked at. The video will then be posted online for others to view and comment.
