Students could gain better exposure other than what was provided by the teachers in terms of teacher-created worksheets. Perhaps it's better to align to UDM rather than purchase due to time constraint? Possible to identify areas of Companion booklets which may not be necessary for students to complete?]]> 2022-11-21 03:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2391982401 Companion Booklets https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2391988266 To relook at the units, UDM, etc in alignment to the goals.

The activities are meaningful and enjoyable to all the students! Possible for students to do the activities independently to reduce the work load of teachers. We can explore deploying reading champs or PSG members to help with manpower constraint. We may need to reduce to 3 days rather than one week.]]> 2022-11-21 04:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2391991607 LAMP https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2395108399 Teaching and Learning:

We can leverage existing resources. For instance we can identify e.g. current affairs topics and design purposeful lessons to tie in reading and communication skills. Students have found these activities useful. ]]> 2022-11-23 06:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2395152686 Empathetic Communicators-START https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2395155363 Tap on what is available such as NE Events and FTGP package to have conversations about sensitive topics such as race etc. We can extend the learning, tap on same resource package so that they have the language (vocabulary/content) to talk about the topic.

These activities can be conducted in the afternoon. 
We can decide on topics that we can go in depth to learn soft skills like ppt, digital literacy etc. 
Reading comprehension as sensemaking- hear students' voices as they collaborate and develop perspective taking, listening to diverse opinions in a respectful environment.
Students can do time-based practice to get students to be familiar with exam setting.]]> 2022-11-23 07:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/LAMP/6p96yeaxn38cndb1/wish/2395178459
