Thank you SY for opening up your classroom! Learnt a lot about classroom management from you. Appreciate you going the extra mile and translating the worksheet too!! (Hopefully my Chinese +1 after your lesson). Anyways good job & keep inspiring ❤️

Activating prior knowledge

Interesting way to activate prior knowledge when introducing the past & present (A visible vs invisible enemy!) I like how the introduction of concepts was easy to follow ie. Battles -> Global warming -> SG Green Plan ... okay only part I understood before the content got too cheem... heheee..

Group work

Main reason I was there was to learn how to manage my time when doing group work in class. SY didn't rush through her lesson and STILL managed to get all groups to present [WOW!] I learnt that she did that by ensuring all group members wrote down their learning points during the group discussion (which was also differentiated), then when they came up to present, it was a lot more efficient. Moreover, the students seem to be very familiar with doing group work, they took less than 20 seconds to get into their groups!

Interesting observation

I also teach one of SY's students for EL. I was genuinely surprised that this particular student was SO participative, confident and vocal during HCL lesson. In EL, she is usually quite shy and reserved. I think I can tap on her strength in the Chinese language to help her increase her confidence in EL too.

I think its quite tough to ensure that all groups are on task within the time limit. There were two groups that didn't spend their time wisely. Maybe it would help to have a checklist and one student in the group to monitor that the task gets completed within the allocated time.

Sample checklist:

1. By (time), #1 should have written his response

2. By (time), #2 should have written his response

3. By (time), #3 should have written his response

4. By (time), #4 should have written his response

Good classroom practices

Waited for students to settle down and be ready before giving instructions

Explicitly state to the class what they will be learning for the day – Adaptive Thinking was made clear to students, and told students at the start of the lesson that they will need to put on their thinking caps.

Resources (video) has been shared prior to the lesson on GC, so students can access it before class

There were 2 students with SEN in the class, and in general the profile of the class consists of quite a few chatty boys. Sook Yee was able to exercise wait time for them to be ready before continuing with class.

Group work

It is evident that students do group discussion frequently as they are very used to the routines for group work.

Active learning, brainstorming and discussion were exhibited by the students and Sook Yee will walk around to check-in on their discussions and provide prompts and scaffolds where necessary. (Differentiation)

The presentation by most of the groups were insightful and shows good effort within the 8 minutes.

Personal thought

I find this lesson enriching and certainly have the potential to collaborate as a Interdisciplinary package with other disciplines. (eg. Sustainability, Science, Innovation etc)

If time allows, maybe can try out Gallery Walk, where one or two students stay behind in their group to present, while the other members walk around to see other ideas, and they can then come back to share. However, there is a need to balance with time, as this mode of presentation can be time-consuming as well.

Thank you Sook Yee for opening up your classroom, and providing me the opportunity to learn from you! Appreciate the efforts to introduce Adaptive Thinking and Learning in your classroom, and I felt encouraged to try it out in my lesson in the future as well.

1. How well have your students learned (What is the evidence of learning that shows that the students have achieved the success criteria?)?  How engaged were your students? How do you know ?
我班已经很习惯进行小组活动。这次的课堂讨论是第三学段新座位、新组合，他们需要一点时间磨合。通常每个人都有一个小任务，比如这次的活动单，四个组员中每个组员负责填写一个格子。组员2负责审读组员1，组员3负责审组员2，组员4审组员3，组员1审组员4。
8+2分钟小组讨论时，六组的同学中，四组相对认真讨论和分享。只有红1和黄1这两组，在讨论时没把握时间积极思考、比较和分析。当他们发现其他组都认真做小组活动后，在第二天重新花8分钟时间把活动单重做交上了。
每组2分钟分享，虽然稍微花了一点时间，但这个办法能够让每个人集中精神聆听，也让每个小组有机会上去进行口头分享，为9-10/7的预考口试做准备，练习胆量和声量。
红黄2呈上的点子，跟百变衣有关，结合了调节温度的概念，想到已有的透气衣服（运动服、军服），也想到未来有百变衣就可以减少消费，配合了3R（Reuse, Reduce, Recycle）的概念，就更加环保，切合主题。
青1组的点子跟闪电快递有关。他们想到已有的无人机递送物件，预想日后可以通过虫洞(worm hole)来进行瞬间移动。他们也联想到魔法世界中《哈利波特》的飞路粉(Floo Powder)让魔法师利用飞路网旅行来进行瞬间移动。结合科技和科幻的点子，让大家听得津津有味。
我很高兴学生能够针对“适应性”这个技能，结合已有的科普知识，发挥想象力，分析已有的国内外绿色计划的科技，预想未来世界如何变得更加可持续生活。
