Term2-Lesson1

Leading the learning

Direct Instruction

The learning intention for this lesson was using and understanding new vocabulary. However, the skills that learners had built on previously around perspective taking were necessary to complete the activities and tasks.

This lesson shows my direct instruction for a new type of follow up activity.

Learners working

The second video shows how the learners engaged with the task while they worked on it. They were instructed to sit together for this task and discuss their answers as they wrote.

Reflection/ Next steps

Learners did not seem to see the importance of reading all the texts. Although the Agree or Disagree task worked well, I think the discussion would have been richer if the learners had engaged deeper with the texts. The follow up discussion with the group after the agree or disagree task was good, however learners did not delve deeper into what it meant to be a comic artist more than they had already.

Things to note

In this episode I have tried to show a small part of my direct instruction, followed by footage of the learners working on the task together.
