Direct Instruction
The learning intention for this lesson was to segment and underline unknown words in writing.
The video shows tamariki drawing on prior knowledge of the text structure they are currently working on.
Next, you will see a whole rōpū lesson using our stretchy gum technique. This is a fun way for tamariki to segment any unknown words in their writing and identify individual graphemes.
Finally, you will see an example of a tamaiti using an Explain Everything he made to show his morning routing. He is now listening to his recordings and writing his process in his writing book. He uses the stretchy gum technique when he comes across a kupu that he does not know how to spell.
Reflection
Lesson concept ran well.
More explanation as to how I already knew some kupu. Eg ‘on’ is one of my kete kupu so I already know how to spell it.
I spent a lot of time on the before mahi. This impacted the focus of tamariki during the explicit teaching time.
Most tamariki were able to use this new strategy during independent mahi. I did run a focus group session with a few tamariki who needed extra practice.
Things to note
Ensure that most tamariki are at the stage of writing into their books as the lesson may need to be repeated at a later stage for those who are still working on creating their visual anchor in Explain Everything.
