The students were very engaged and shared their thoughts and opinions enthusiastically. The topic was relatable and something that they experienced first-hand. We modified the "spokes" activity to a class-based discussion as they were all actively sharing throughout. ]]> 2023-08-21 08:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667285907 https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667285929 Making Choices Respectful

This encourages students to think deeper into the topic and make them want to share their personal experiences. Students are more engaged when the topic becomes relatable to them.

Resource: Videos from "Regardless of ... series" provides a good framing to start the lessons. It brings out sensitive topic in a very objective manner. This can help to spark the interest of students.]]> 2023-08-21 08:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667286729 https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667286880 Videos, role-playing, gallery walk, sharing of personal experiences (4/12)]]> 2023-08-21 08:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667286880 limwanhan1 https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667287207 Strategy
- Hot seating: Engaging way to get students to assume other personalities to take on multiple perspectives. Entertaining for both students and teachers - most recent peacemaker class.

Lesson / topic
- Memorable because students are naturally intrigued by topic. Kids loveee to talk about love, teenage woes. 
- There was a dramatisation video about a couple fighting. Class was overly excited but that led to natural conversations and debates.

Being given different roles to play as they think of solutions managed to engage everyone. Group work also helps.

We also used Padlet to record our discussion points and give each other the space to share as a big group. Trains their speaking confidence too. (https://greenridgesecondary.padlet.org/muhammad_faiz_rosli1/ash-s-family-9i4tci3i5ocfcrtu)

They take peace and prosperity lightly that they dont see a point why efforts are being made to maintain good working relationships between countries so that all citizens can benefit from this positive relationships. 

Students also thought that IFD is a topic to have a foreign friend from another country and do not see the need to have one.

Strategies:
- Use of scaffolds (e.g. focused cards - to guide their thinking and help students to explain their choice with common language, case studies - help to apply the theoretical values learnt into reality)
- Customised packages according to students interests

2. Memorable lesson/topic:
- Being active citizen L4 (Hard and heart choice) The topic was engaging and close to their heart, hence students were able to relate better and were more proactive in sharing their perspective.

3. Resources:
- Provided footnote, videos, guiding questions, expected answers, learning outcomes
- Very good infographic found in PDF which allow students to quick sense of the key learning point even after the lesson has ended (Suggest all teachers to look at PDF file!)]]> 2023-08-21 08:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667290418 mdmlim1 https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667299728 Some students are off-task during groupwork discussions

We find that we constantly have to simplify them. Thus they also find it difficult to share their thoughts or answer some of the questions posed. 

Lessons with huge reading load becomes a greater challenge to engage as well. 

Also, while we try to differentiate our lesson by incorporating online or offline discussion strategies, they simply do not like writing down their discussion points. They prefer class discussions and sharing verbally with their peers. ]]> 2023-08-21 08:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667301478 https://padlet.com/junaidah_manap2/PD2108/wish/2667302606 Lesson packages that involve students reading articles then coming together to discuss is usually not effective, e.g. Jigsaw strategy.

Discussion - not all students will participate actively and share their views. 
Jigsaw - Students take a long time to read and discuss in their expert groups and may not have time to share extensively back in the home groups. (4/12)

- CSI: It's hard to get students to think critically about some scenarios that are not rich enough. (But we also acknowledge our students sometimes do not want to flex a little brain muscle here and there.)

Topic: 
- It's hard to get students to think critically about issues that keep repeating itself. I can't remember what topic is it but there was this time in Term 1/2 whereby the topics were so closely related that it was repetitive, to the point where even the teacher ran out of things to inspire the kids with as we were just rehashing similar learning points.

Cater the slides to the vast majority since in 2024, there won't be any distinctive class separation into Ex, NA, NT. 

2. Include more slides with videos so that the teachers can relate. 

3. Can suggest what prior knowledge is needed and where to get them so that teachers can prepare themselves before going in to deliver the lesson. 

4. Give a range of objectives and DI it into HA MA LA classes so that teachers will not be too stressful to rush it through, and students not able to grasp the learning.
