Term2-Lesson3

Leading the learning

Direct Instruction

The learning intention for this lesson was understanding different perspectives. We are have been learning to think from the perspective of the author, as well as the perspectives of the characters in the stories we read. This is helping us not only in our reading, but in our writing as well. Our writing has a narrative focus and a focus on comics this term, that requires us to consider multiple characters perspectives while writing.

The second half of the video shows the learners unpacking the task, and a letter sent to them as part of that task. This letter requires the learners to consider the perspective of a 7 year old girl. The task is designed to match the learning intention for the reading.

Learners working

Although this second video is a bit confusing to what is actually going on, I think it's really cool to see the learner explaining the technical side of what they are doing. Daisy here is attempting to explain to the camera how to publish a google presentation onto her blog. This process involves retrieving the HTML embed code via Google Presentation settings, and then pasting the code inside the HTML window of Blogger. This is something our learners could need to do on any day, but a skill they first had to learn. Daisy decided to do this on her own accord, and I knew about it only from watching this recording.

Reflection/ Next steps

This journal article is great for thinking about perspectives, because it is very relatable to my learners. In my class there is a rule about drawing in our maths book (our only physical book), and yet I as the teacher enjoy drawing cartoons on the whiteboard. This gave the learners a relatable context to understand the story, and to understand the perspective of Miri, the character. Although they had more trouble understanding the teachers perspective, by relating the teacher to myself they were able to see
