Week 5 Assessing JC Science Assessment Methods! by Eimear Byrne https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9 Assessment Part 2! 09/11/2017 en-us 2017-11-13 18:33:21 UTC 2017-11-13 18:57:23 UTC hello@padlet.com What I Learned.. eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206412650 Again this week I learned about the different graphic organisers that would be useful in class. I believe they would be aimed mostly at JC students where they can use it to gather words that may help stimulate deeper thinking. I think these graphic organisers would be great fro student revision and they should definitely be encouraged to hold each on record for future reference. An example of a really good one is the fish bone diagram this could be put to good use with experiments where they could be laid out clear and concisely for students.

It is good to learn student names, it gives students and identity but also students know they will be unable to get away with anything under the teachers watchful eye.

Also it is good to keep walking around the classroom, maybe tap the table as it puts students under pressure to stay on task.]]> 2017-11-13 18:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206412650 What Worked Well eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206412816 Venn diagrams where other good ideas for simplifying certain topic for students. I thought the Venn diagrams worked really well for the likes of Arteries, veins and capillaries where you can identify the similarities and differences between them all. Another topic this is useful for is Acids and Bases.

How to gain students respect without letting them walk all over you?
How to keep students on task throughout the lesson?
What is the correct disciplinary action fir student persistently forgetting their homework?]]> 2017-11-13 18:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206412909 What didn't work well.... eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206413030 I have to ensure that in my class I leave adequate time at the end of the lesson to sum up the days learning and also assign an effective homework task.
I know not to go in all guns blazing but have a cool approach to students , gain the students respect and then up the anti as you go along.]]> 2017-11-13 18:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206413030 New Ideas eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206413135 Flow Chart is a good Idea also for writing out the steps of an experiment , it can become very tedious for students learning off experiments so if they can beheld in a clear and concise manner it would be easier for student revision.
Another good idea is one is he staircase graphic organiser this can be resourceful when writing out the food chains making them easy to learn and clear to understand.]]> 2017-11-13 18:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206413135 What I would like to try.. eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206413269 I will definitely be implementing show me boards into my classroom. This is such a simple yet effective idea where I can simply laminate white A4 sheets and let students work on them.
True/ False boards can also work in this way effective, simple and can be reused over and over again.]]> 2017-11-13 18:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/rjm4bgvigbp9/wish/206413269
