I saw that she introduced the big idea to the group as a whole and then broke down the groups to smaller ones ( pair) and then individual feedback) I noticed that she was particularly interested in moving the students through slowly and asked them to look carefully at all times. When they offered ideas she sought justification sant0224 https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120856921 2022-03-30 06:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120856921 chrisxavier59 https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120856998 A language rich classroom with lots of things on the walls.

She was careful to include all of the ideas offered and asked students to draw conclusions prior to the feedback session by using the discussion process. She used language like "What makes you say that?" and 'What might be going on in this picture?" "What were you basing that idea on?" She took care to always stretch the answers. I think that the reporting back process was an important part of the learning process and the way she gave a sheet to record the findings was also a good way of collecting new ideas, language and coming up with a conclusion sant0224 https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120862485 2022-03-30 06:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120862485 Whole-class consolidation rnc02sc https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120862544 The teacher asks Ss to draw conclusions about the photos that they had in their respective groups. The theme of the lesson was on the human rights of the child.

Students had to put themselves in the shoes of children around their own age who do not have the same rights that they do.

She used questioning very well.

There were comments about the different levels of children in forced labour. I also thing that there would be good opportunities for children to visit the ideas and tables of other groups to hear what they thought as the report back process was quick and it was difficult to comprehend the level of understanding of all. sant0224 https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120868779 2022-03-30 06:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120868779 chrisxavier59 https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120868995 I thought it was quite a sophisticated topic for the age-group - the rights of the child]]> 2022-03-30 06:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120868995 Reinforcement of routines https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120869252 I wonder what the balance is in using classroom routines between reinforcing the routine and not inhibiting the flow of an interaction or expression.

2. Students were asked to think of ways each character and their actions might match with two light/dark quotes
3. Students were asked to write down some ideas which showed the duality of the characters and their 'chiaroscuro" nature. This language was obiously much simpler for the exercise]]> 2022-03-30 06:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sant0224/ivalyl5eldsgvni4/wish/2120880978
