Master class: The brain & history of research into it. Recap on how the brain works. Learning Activities: Research: how is the brain structured and what does each lobe do? Building: use knowledge of brain to make a plasticine brain with different lobes. Try without using a diagram. TOPIC: NEUROPSYCHOLOGY: PART 1 - Terms 1 & 2 (YEAR 9) LEARNING CONTEXT: Every Monday single lesson – neuropsychology focus OVERALL AIM: explain how our brains work using evidence from psychological research and students’ own experiences KEY QUESTIONS: How is our brain structured? How do parts of the brain influence actions & behaviour? Can we improve our brain? INTERLEAVING FOCUS (which topics are we going to rehearse to strengthen retrieval from long term memory & identify gaps in learning?): Sessions link to the memory unit and reinforce the key theories and studies in this unit. Master class: VIDEO Brain Games: S3 Ep 6 What’s Going On- special awareness & memory Learning Activities: Read pages 122-123 and discuss the role of the hippocampus and memory. Building: the living brain CHOOSE: Create a character with damage to each part of brain OR draw a brain detailing what damage can lead to. Master class: VIDEO Brain Games: S3 Ep 4 Battle of the Ages – how does our brain develop? Learning Activities: Research: how does the brain develop & change with age? Find diagrams as well. Building: Create a comic strip that shows how the brain develops with age (use your research to support your drawings). Master class: VIDEO Brain Games: S3 Ep 7 Retrain the Brain- improving your brain Learning Activities: Research: what is neuroplasticity? What evidence it there that we can rewire our brain? Watch clip on this. Building: Write a letter to yourself with promise of how you are going to rewire your brain. Master class: VIDEO Brain Games: S3 Ep 5 Stress Test: how does stress affect our brain? Learning Activities: What is happening in the brain? Explain the amygdala & its role. Watch the TED Talk ‘How to Make Stress Your Friend’. Building: Dealing with stress - write a guide to dealing with stress. AfL (incremental progress) Point out lobes to partner & explain their role. AfL (topic progress) Peer feedback on stress guides BUILDING BLOCKS (engage & interest): How can we train our brain? (focus, mindfulness), structure of the brain (creating a model identifying different parts). AfL (incremental progress) Teacher feedback on letters AfL (incremental progress) Peer feedback on comic strips. AfL (incremental progress) Students explain their brain creations to each other.
