Task 4

1. The document describes a teaching practice task involving identifying teaching activities related to behaviorist and constructivist learning theories. 2. Ten example activities are described, each noting the theoretical perspective and an evaluation of student engagement. Activities include reward systems, sign language, classroom rules, assigning group leaders, and using objects to teach combinations. 3. Most activities engaged students by making lessons hands-on, visual, game-based, or linking to real life examples. However, some reading and individual work activities were less engaging for students. The document advocates using a variety of strategies to develop student skills.
