Mushrooms and the Cycle of Life: Integrating Literature and Biology in Secondary Teacher Education.
Brinkman, Fred; Mulder, Jan
European Journal of Teacher Education, v19 n2 p181-91 1996
An experimental lesson is described in which student teachers verbalized preconceptions about a natural object (mushrooms) and completed personal response activities about a poem entitled "Mushrooms." The approach stimulated enhanced awareness of mushrooms and more questions about growth and reproduction. Possible applications in teaching and teacher training are discussed. (SM)
