The flour = Dewey because he makes up the thickness of the batter. He is very student centered and liked to build on knowledge students already knew. He believed learning through observation was very important and that students learned by doing.
Baking Soda & Salt = Montessori and Vygotsky because their ideas were similar to Dewey’s and in baking chocolate chip cookies, you put the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl to be added later.
Butter = The techniques that help us deal with the sticky situations in the classroom (attention getters, etc).
Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar = Piaget and Erikson because they both developed their own stages for a person’s life. Piaget’s stages of cognitive development and Erikson’s 8 stages of man. This helped explain their understanding of traits and development at each age (except that Erikson’s goes past adolescence and can go back in stages, much like brown sugar because it is dark which represents experiences).
Vanilla Extract = The students we will have because they make our experiences sweeter and worth while. Without the kids we wouldn’t be here and without vanilla extract in cookies… the batter just tastes bad.
Eggs = Kohlberg because his moral development is key to success for anyone. Morals hold values together and can strengthen a person, as well as a batch of cookies.
Chocolate Chips = Our cohort because it’s everyone’s’ ideas together that get sprinkled and intertwined.
Well first off this makes me really want chocolate chip cookies, but more importantly,you have two things that I did not add, but that I like. I like how you used the cohort as well, I didn't even think about how much the people in this group affect and mold my own ideas. I also like how you utilized techniques for classroom management.
