have been working on their Integrated projects throughout the term and have only now begun to actually put the final pieces together. Integrated is a unit where students are able to choose a topic that they would like to create a project on. Resources: tablets, Integrated tub, whiteboard, and whiteboard marker. Introduction/Development: share time will begin with the three chosen students (Anna, Jessica and Dino). This time is usually structured with the student describing their project, their progress, challenges and their goal for today’s session. I will notify the class those students who are creating a stall or a fundraising type of event that the date is December the 11th. I will also aim to focus my time on these particular students; this includes writing their name on the board for conferencing (Nada and Emily). Consolidation, practice, and extension: while students continue work on their projects I will be available to conference with students whose names are on the board. While I am not conferencing, I will rove between students; checking up on where they are up to on their project. Closure: students will regroup into a circle in the learning space. We will continue on with the second half of share time. Anna, Jessica and Dino will share what they have achieved during the session and the class will provide feedback and comments. The students must discuss whether the progress is

Background to the learning: students are continuing to develop the concept of responding to text using ICT and to real-life issues. Resources: tablets and checklist. Introduction/Development: as a class discuss what are the latest issues in the news today. Create a list of the student’s responses. Show students a snap shot of the video, Comet Landing and ask what they think it is about. We will watch the clip and respond to it as a class. - What was it about? - What is something new you learnt? - What did you find it interesting? - What could you learn more about

this topic? Allow students in pairs to respond to the video using the following prompts: - I liked…. - I think…

Resources: tablets and checklist. Introduction/Development: we will first check that every student has the two required checklist.

the beginning of the lesson Background to the learning: in literacy students have been developing reading comprehension skills. They have created a narrative previously in Digital Literacies and are now creating an animation clip that interprets what their narrative is about; through the use of ICT and their skills learnt in Literacy. This area of work incorporates features from both English and Information and Communications Technology. Resources: tablets and criteria sheet. Introduction/Development: the teacher will collect Rapid Readers from the students for checking. The class will discuss the criteria sheet that they created and will later be assessed against for their animation clip created. Consolidation, practice, and extension: students will continue work on their Go Animate and must check against the criteria sheet that they are meeting all the requirements. We will do this for 20 minutes before regrouping again for 10 minutes to watch and grade two groups work against the criteria. The students will then continue

- I found it interesting… Consolidation, practice, and extension: we will watch the video Future Careers and respond to it emphasizing how the issue affects them. - How does this issue affect you? - Your community? - The world? - This affects me because… - This affects the community

because… - This affects the world because… Closure: as a class we can discuss what the students have learnt and some students can share their postings for the Future Careers clip. We can also discuss how these video clips help us learn; for example it allows us to explore an issue closely online.

until they have checked everything on their list that they will get their worked approved by the teacher. If they have any questions in regards to the portfolio or checklist they will use the conferencing board to write their name and I will assist them. The students who have the most things to do on their checklist (which will we establish in the introduction phases) will work with a student who has completed their digital portfolio. That means, Integrated should be the last thing to complete, as these students should be helping their peers. Closure: students will regroup in the learning area and if time permits we will share what they have completed during the session. Students must show some progression from the last session and their checklist can verify this. We will allow students who received help from a peer to say thank you.

Content of Lesson:

Development/Consolidation and Practice

A. Shared Reading Groups 15 mins

Focus Group 1 (Christian, Abulu, Victoria, Sasvini, Bradley, Trisha, Kavvin, Namitha, Asvin, Simon, Antonio): There was an Old Lady who Swallowed the Sea -Syllabification, asking questions and adjectives.

Focus Group 2 (Anna, Lii, Lado, Marie-Belle, Tyrese, Liana, Dagbayosa, Tanya, Talei, Namitha, Tristan, Shown, Beadjowk, Tanya): What’s for Dinner? – Reading on, self-correcting and comparing and contrast (Venn diagram).

B. Rotation Groups 25 mins

Guided Reading Groups-

Focus Group 1: students will be introduced to the short story School Bag Then and Now. Students will highlight the similarities’ in the story in red and the differences in blue. They will then begin a comprehension activity identifying the similarities and differences – comparing and contrasting.

Focus Group 2: students will continue the comprehension activity of comparing and contrasting elements of the story School Bag Then and Now. Students will begin constructing their accompanying Venn diagram.

Interactive White Board: students will explore the word blend ‘tr’ through the literacy activity on the website Sunshine Online. Students will identify ‘tr’ words and what

Page 9: Placement Reading Planners

words contain that particular word blend. Students will also use the words in sentences and highlight the focused word blend.

Reading Circle: students will read the book Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss. After finishing the book they must use the Retell a Story cubes and answer the questions that are rolled. E.g. what was the problem in the book? Who were the main characters? How would you change the stories ending?

Oral Language: whilst the teacher reads a passage of a story to the students, the children will arrange four pictures into a sequence of events that are related to the story. They must also write a story in their own words using the pictures.

Word Game: students will discover the different possible homophones. The word game allows students to identify pairs of homophones. They must join the jigsaw pieces together accompanied by the matching words and picture. E.g. a row of roses or a rose and a dog’s tail or a story tale. Students must write the homophones in their book and use the homophone in a sentence to show that they clearly understand the words meaning.

C. Closure 10 mins

After students complete the activity, everyone will return to the discussion area and share what they liked about the activity they were completing. The teacher will ask them to review their experiences in the activity and discuss what information can be learnt from it.
