Of the following, which example best illustrates a learning activity based on progressive education ideas?
◦ Jackie Manning carefully explains the concept of camouflage. After explaining the concept she shows the students colored slides of a snake camouflaged in some grass, and an insect camouflaged on a leaf.
◦ Molly Miller puts students into groups of three and each group reads a section of their textbook that describes how animals protect themselves, with camouflage being one of the ways. The groups each then report back to the whole class.
◦ Ashley Wilson takes a box each of red, green, yellow, and blue toothpicks and randomly distributes them on a section of the school grounds. She then takes the students outside and gives them 5 minutes to collect as many toothpicks as they can find. They discuss reasons why they found different numbers of each color.
◦ Ken Davis has his students search the Internet for information on camouflage. The students find articles and research reports, print them, and then make oral reports to the class about the information they've gathered.
