Reflecting on your practice - Module 4 group work and oracy NQTs by Chartered College of Teaching https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt From this week's learning, what do you think will be most useful to you? What would you like to discuss and practice in your next instructional coaching session with your mentor? en-us 2015-10-09 06:45:23 UTC 2026-02-19 21:28:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Make talking a part of the lesson https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/456745174 I would like to discover more ways to utilise their talking in the lesson to make it more productive while they are also enjoying their chance to speak.]]> 2020-03-09 09:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/456745174 Making talk productive https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/456813090 Religious Studies is a subject which lends itself very naturally to oracy-based activities. 

However, giving students time to talk doesn't always mean that talk will be productive. 

I would like to think about ways to maximise the value of talk in the classroom without making activities too prescriptive or giving students the impression that all talk will be followed by a test!]]> 2020-03-09 11:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/456813090 https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/457440927 There are lots of opportunities for group work and oracy in geography and so I would like to take some of these ideas forward in making sure that it is effective for my students. A good opportunity coming up for me is with year 7, who will be presenting what they have done for homework on weather. ]]> 2020-03-10 10:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/457440927 https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/457521591 As a science teacher, I find it quite hard to include activities that are oracy based - however, I try to get students to articulate their answers in more than one way, explain why their answer is correct or not, to use full sentences, to teach each other, think-pair-share. My department has also created literacy based assessments that we carry out.]]> 2020-03-10 12:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/457521591 https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/457912378 The class is currently engaged in a statistics project. I am looking for students to articulate their findings as well as compare their findings with other projects within their groups.]]> 2020-03-10 19:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/457912378 I regularly have discussion tasks but often feedback can be a slow. I might look to doing more group feedback from tasks or potentially using whiteboards or peer assessed feedback https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/458169299 2020-03-11 08:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/458169299 As a school, Oracy is a key aspect that we thrive to include in day to day life. We ask the children to hand up, stand up, pair up to share ideas, or ask them to discuss a previous lesson and then feedback to the class as a pair. The children are constantly sharing ideas and this has helped to develop their understanding, but also their vocabulary because they are being exposed to more during discussions, which in turn is having a positive affect in their writing. https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/458675179 2020-03-11 19:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/458675179 I like the idea of getting the children to present summaries of the learning from the lesson, during lesson plenaries. This is something that I would like to implement in my classroom to further support Oracy. As a school we have s big focus on Oracy and finding other way to address this in the classroom is great. We regularly implement paired discussions during lesson starters and inputs, but I feel that lesson plenaries could be used to support Oracy much more. https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/459042172 2020-03-12 11:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/459042172 https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/461135382 I have used group work in lessons, but find it can be quite difficult to engage all students. I would like to work on student's oracy by utilising the roles they can be given during group work as they have enjoyed these tasks previously. Alternatively, I could get students to use think pair share at the end of each lesson and then share their summary with another pair or the class to develop their oracy skills and ensure they start to use subject specific terminology]]> 2020-03-15 17:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/461135382 https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/461682013 I do use speaking in lessons, however, making sure all are engaged can be a difficult thing. I am looking to try it with longer answer questions]]> 2020-03-16 10:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/461682013 I am thinking of having students come up at the end of the maths lesson so explain what they have learnt during that lesson https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/464772519 2020-03-18 16:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/464772519 Reflection abigail_adams5 https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/472485933 I like the idea of using explaining the learning as a challenge

I use think, pair, share strategy in class. This allows students to discuss their ideas with peers first then with the rest of the class. This could be a means of building oracy. ]]> 2020-05-11 09:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/charteredcollege/oracynqt/wish/564264930
