Additional information

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Cross-curricular links
Health and safety check
ICT links
Values links

More support:

• Provide less-able learners with a less dense definition written on a worksheet so they can read.

• Allow thinking time.

• Create mixed-ability groups for part of the discussion.

• Offer differentiation by support.

More-able learners:

List in bullet point form their answers to the critical thinking exercise.

• Summarise the group’s findings.

• Encourage them to justify their opinions.

All groups

Change groups to change group dynamics if necessary.

• Monitor learners as they share their experiences to check for recurring errors for future planning.

• Monitor learners’ definitions and offer differentiation by support.

• Monitor for correct spelling of specific vocabulary and if necessary ask them to peer assess or check online (self-assessment).

• Observe learners when participating in discussion. Did the group dynamics work? Did each learner contribute to the discussion? If not, why not? (e.g. didn’t understand what to do; not so confident speaking English; not interested in topic; other)

• Record what they considered they had learned from the lesson. Could they express what they had learned about content and language? Could they express which skills they had developed?

• Social net working

• computer science: developing vocabulary range to communicate knowledge of social media

• reflecting on the role of technology in our lives

• respecting diversity of opinion
