Week+8+The+Brain's+cortex

= Week 8 The Brain =

Topic(s)

 * The brain cortex
 * Localization of function in the brain
 * Case Studies of Localization of function in the brain

**students will be able to identify different parts of the brain with their specific function.**
 * Objective(s) **
 * Students will be able to fill in a handout of the brain with the functions of each lobe.
 * Students will be able to identify specific parts of the brain with specific functions
 * ** Students will be able to Explain localization of function in the brain using research **
 * Students will be able to Explain and Differentiate Broca's case study aswell as Wernike's
 * Students will be able to identify case studies where localization of function in the brain is studied.

**Activities / Strategies** - Students will compare notes with eachother and improve their own. - In groups, students will design a boardgame that will help to memorize the information.(this is for a double period) - Each team will play another team´s boardgame and use a rubric provided by the teacher to grade the efficacy of the game. That way they will be **assessing eachother.** The rubric is: 1. Estetics of the game (0-2): is the game appealing and pleasently presented? 2. Game rules (0-2): Are the rules of the game clear and self-explanatory? 3. Content (0-3): Is the content in the game sufficient and clear enough for anyone to learn the function of the Brain's Lobes? || Individual/ Group ||  ||

 * ~ Level Key ||
 * H . || Higher achiever ||
 * S || Standard achiever ||
 * L || Lower achiever ||


 * ~ Type Key ||
 * Individual . || Activity performed completely by the student himself. ||
 * Pairs || Acitivty performed in pairs to either to share, check or generate results. ||
 * Group || Activity performed in groups, strongly recommended in groups of 3 or 4 and assigned by the teacher. ||
 * Peer-Assess . || Activity that will be marked by peers. mark scheme should be provided before hand and explained. ||
 * Self Assess . || Activity that will be marked by one self. Mark scheme should be provided before hand and explained. ||

**Homework**
 * **Objective** || Students will understand how case studies can be related to localization of function in the brain ||
 * **Outcome** || Students will research a Case study of brain damage with repercussions on behaviour to use in class ||
 * **Instructions** || Use the Internet to research a case Study of brain damage where any area of behaviour was affected. You need to bring only a summary of the case but it's important to state the source. ||
