I also teach with event cards in my nutrition course. I give the groups of students an index card that gives a scenario of a patient, background information, etc. Students must then discuss with their group how they would counsel their "patient". Each group presents, and after each presentation, I give the rest of the class an opportunity to discuss whether they agree or disagree with the recommendations given.
I feel that this activity will encourage learnes of all age group hands on is an awesome activity in any course. I use it allthe time.
I plan on implimenting this into my lesson plan.
Susan, I am glad some of these ideas are adaptable to your dental content. Enjoy!
I agree, I teach Dental but can utilize a lot of these suggestions for my class. We play a couple of games and those are the topics they always remember, so I am excited to have other options.
Sarom, I am glad to hear you like this idea. I hope it is one you try with your students. Thanks!
