By doing this you can simply pick out one stick and which ever student is picked out you ask them a question. This ensures that as a teacher you are not asking the same students the entire ]]> 2017-10-14 17:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/197047605 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/197047737 I found this strategy very effective. It works by giving each table three plastic cups, a red cup, green cup and orange cup. If students are struggling with a task they display the red cup so the teacher will know to help them. If they are not 100% certain but have some knowledge they display the orange cup and if they are fully sure of what to do and how to do the task they display the green cup. This is a great method as sometimes students are embarrassed to ask the teacher if they are stuck so the students don't need to say a word the teacher can tell by what colour they display.]]> 2017-10-14 17:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/197047737 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/197047997 I learned about this method in the second lecture. The teacher has a box beside his/her desk and students write down any questions they may have and place them in the box. Some students may be embarrasses asking a question out loud so this way they do not have to. The teacher will then read the questions out to the class and other students can answer them]]> 2017-10-14 17:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/197047997 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/201420329 I learned how to gain students attention who may be going off task. Simply raise your hand to show that you want quiet. Eventually the students should stop talking to get ready to listen to you]]> 2017-10-28 15:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/201420329 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/201420761 If a student is misbehaving to do start shouting at them immediately. Try to reason with them in a way that works out for both of ye. In order to gain respect it is important to show the student respect and show that you care. Be interested in what they have to say and try to help them as much as you can.]]> 2017-10-28 15:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/201420761 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/205969115 Show me boards are a great way to assess a students understanding of the content. The students will simply write an answer on the board and hold it up for the teacher to see. Some students may be quite shy and embarrassed to speak in front of the class so this really suits them]]> 2017-11-12 12:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/205969115 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/205969277 This method is a great way to assess students learning. The teacher asks a question and the students simply hold up the card to illustrate they understand the content. Students can copy off each other as its a quick process so they must think for themselves]]> 2017-11-12 12:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/205969277 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/205969391 Flow charts are a great way to illustrate experiments as you can list your method step by step using a flow chart. Students will hence understand the experiment more and can look back on this chart to revise for tests,]]> 2017-11-12 12:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/205969391 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210660559 Teacher creates a wall that resembles the popular app twitter. Students "post" up ideas on the wall and are hence learning from each other. Students may be afraid to say it out loud so they can therefore post up their ideas on the wall instead.]]> 2017-11-27 20:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210660559 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210661842 Students can take notes on a certain topic using the fish diagram. This is very useful for experiments as students can write down the experiment step by step and therefore look back on it when revising.]]> 2017-11-27 20:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210661842 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210662380 If students are talking or going off task simply stand up and wait for them to stop. Students will eventually get board and you will have there attention. If you shout or give out they may continue to mess.]]> 2017-11-27 21:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210662380 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210663845 Try to have activities in your lesson where students get to experience working in groups. This will help students learn from each other and students get to collaborate their ideas. Sometimes weaker students can learn from the stronger students so it is very beneficial.]]> 2017-11-27 21:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210663845 anna_corcoran34 https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210664426 It is very important that you plan your introduction very effectively as it sets out how your lesson will go. For example, an introduction that grabs students attention immediately will set them on task and they will become interested straight away. A picture, quote or even writing on the board can grab the students attention. A teacher who did very little planning and has a weak introduction will find it very difficult to control the class as the students may become bored.]]> 2017-11-27 21:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_corcoran34/t34q9pbnqn1o/wish/210664426
