There can be many perks and shortcomings to the use of worksheets in the classroom. I personally believe that the positives outweigh the negatives when it comes to utilizing worksheets in a classroom setting. With the worksheets, kids can reinforce what they have learned in class by writing down their thoughts and ideas. Not only that, worksheets can make learning more fun and intriguing to students by challenging them to engage with the topics discussed in class. Worksheets in the classroom can also help a student build academic stamina and focus by pushing them to think critically with more instructional worksheets, and more abstractly with free flowing worksheets. Lastly, worksheets are a good way to track a students understanding of a concept without actually being tested on the subject.
I used a website titled Canva.com to put together my worksheet. I started with a blank template and an idea for the sheet. I then searched on the Internet for images of each planet of the solar system. I then arranged them in a mixed order on the page. After that I put in the numbered lines for the students to write their answers on. I also added the title and directions after the main portion was completed.
