They will then correct it using editing symbols.
Students will then write summary of the next chapter in pairs and share their work with another pair for checking.
AFL strategy of Success Criteria would be used to ensure the students have all the important ingredients. 
Students will then continue to do an individual task.
Once done, they would use the traffic lights to self assess their work after self editing.

I will share anything new and build upon their feedback. Using the AFL STRATEGY of Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down I will ensure that they have understood the basic.
Next I will write the criteria on the board and share the strategy of how summary is told by practical example of telling a story.]]> 2019-12-24 14:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687050 Lesson content: Use of different strategies will help the students to remain alet and challenged as well as focused throughout the lesson. Learning outcome: Students will analyze what they have learned and what factors stopped their learning. They will consider new questions and new ideas. Metacognitive activity: Self Explanation: By the end of the lesson students will write on their mini white boards the answer to the question. Then they will share what have they learned today. They will be encouraged to analyze and reflect upon their own work. https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687051 2019-12-24 14:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687051 In our English Lesson we use the students mini white boards to answer questions using the AFL strategy Show & Tell. My students will do a Think-Pair-Share to summarise their yesterdays important activities. Students will then be given a chapter from their reader and feedback will be taken from them for Shared Writing. https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687052 2019-12-24 14:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687052 Self Explanation: https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687053 Meta cognition, is the ability to reflect critically on learning experiences and processes in order to inform future progress. I’ve found that use of different AFL strategies are an opportunity for students to do a self check throughout the lesson as it progresses to ensure step by step learning process. It is quite effective at the end of the lesson especially.
 
Learning outcome: Students will reflect what they have learnt and what hinder their learning.They will consider new ideas and new questions of what is the purpose of Summary Writing and when the whole class will share their feedback, they will be sharing their point of view and ideas with others as well. 
Meta cognitive activity: Self explanation.

When students practice metacognition, the act of thinking about their thinking helps them make greater sense of their life experiences and start achieving at higher levels.]]> 2019-12-24 14:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687054 Metacognitive activities can guide students as they: Identify what they already know. Articulate what they learned. Communicate their knowledge, skills, and abilities to a specific audience. https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687055 2019-12-24 14:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687055 In an English lesson I will focus on their learning outcome and convert the SLO into a question and write it in one corner of the white board so that the students keep glancing at it so that they know they have to answer it. https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687056 Q: Why is it important to summarise things?]]> 2019-12-24 14:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687056 Metacognitive Strategies https://padlet.com/saadia_68358/o0ej489pfen9/wish/426687057 Metacognitive strategies are a way to learn how to critically analyse different things and be self aware. It is important to ensure that students develop this skill in them from a very early stage. This can be done by using a few of the following or more strategies;

  1. Ask Questions. 
  2. Foster Self-reflection. 
  3. Encourage Self-questioning. 
  4. Teach Strategies Directly. 
  5. Promote Autonomous Learning. 
  6. Provide Access to Mentors. 
  7. Solve Problems with a Team: 
  8. Think Aloud. 
  9. Self-explanation. 
  10. Provide Opportunities for Making Errors.
