Lesson Plan

Day: M T W T F Date: 17/10/16 Time: 13.00 Year: Three

Learning Area: Literacy Topic: Reading/WritingCurriculum content descriptor/s:LANGUAGE

- Understand that languages have different written and visual communication systems, different oral traditions and different ways of constructing meaning (ACELA1475)

LITERATURE- Draw connections between personal experiences and the worlds of texts, and share responses

with others (ACELT1596) LITERACY

- Listen to and contribute to conversations and discussions to share information and ideas and negotiate in collaborative situations (ACELY1676)

Students’ prior knowledge and experience:- Students have briefly touched on the Cultures of Indonesia. They have participated in activities

that have explored Indonesia. Student’s skills will still be quite under developed and need breaking down and elaboration/demonstration.

- This activity is a continuation on from the mask activity that I did on the 14/10/16- Young children need to have a general understanding of how to understand culture, where to

retrieve the information on Indonesia, How to collaboratively work together to retrieve that information and how emotions can influence different cultures.

Learning purpose: LANGUAGE

- Students will learn that a word or sign can carry different weight in different cultural contexts, for example that particular respect is due to some people and creatures and that stories can be passed on to teach us how to live appropriately

LITERATURE- Students will discuss relevant prior knowledge and past experiences to make meaningful

connections to the people, places, events, issues and ideas in the textLITERACY

- Students will participate in collaborative discussions, building on and connecting ideas and opinions expressed by others, and checking students’ own understanding against group views

Learning objectives: On completion of this lesson, students will be able to:

- Learn that a word or sign can carry

Evaluation:- I will know the objectives have been met

as I will be able to observe the texts that have been used to complete the

different weight in different cultural contexts and can demonstrate this through writing and reading of texts

- Be able to discuss relevant prior knowledge and past experiences to make meaningful connections to the people of Indonesia, their places of importance, their events, issues and ideas in the texts that they read.

- Will be able to successfully participate in collaborative discussions, building on and connecting ideas and opinions expressed by others, and checking students’ own understanding against group views.

Catering for diversity Lower skill level: Will be at opposite ends of the spectrum between students. Learning experiences need to be catered for varying abilities. Professional development strategies that include scaffolded approaches to teaching, collaboration between students, intervention, will be used to assist in the learning process. Positive encouragement, constructive criticism (2 for 1 = 2 positive reinforcement, 1 constructive criticism)

Important Tips for Teaching this LessonThe Teacher to;Set distinct and clear learning targets and objectives and share learning intentions of their lessons with students.Provide students with an appropriate level of curriculum and practical expectations to suit the capabilities of each student. This will motivate them to engage in the process of learning.Encourage each student to enquire beyond the confines of the curriculum. They should process the information shared, and make their own judgements in order to enhance their knowledge-building capacity.Not view mixed ability groups as problematic, but encourage participation. Students of mixed abilities can learn well together (e.g. through co-operative learning). Different ideas from different levels will allow them to contribute and enhance their level of understanding. Learning from peers will help to

remove the feeling of failure and provide the emotional basis to boost motivation and learning.

Timing:

Learning Experiences:

Introduction: The class will be broken into 3 groups of eight. One of the workstations that I will be teaching is that of Indonesia’s facts. I have a Country Research Report worksheet that students will complete after using a lot of the texts that I have in the station. They will be encouraged to find it out for themselves (together) and complete the worksheet together. Upon completion, we will all go over the answers together. I will check for student understanding through marking the facts.

- Students will be introduced to the topic.- This is a follow on from the mask activity that we did as a class last Friday

(14/10/16).- The students were made aware about their emotions within the story behind the

mask.- I will now be asking students to find out more information about Indonesia and its

culture using the resources that I have in my group.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE: Country Research Report worksheet

Students are to find information on Indonesia for themselves. They will all work together in a group of eight and investigate the resources that I have in my station. Information to retrieve are;LocationPopulationCurrencyLanguageTheir three largest citiesClimateSizeImports/ExportsNeighbouring countriesThe Flag – They will need to draw thisFoodInteresting features and landmarks

UPON COMPLETION WE WILL TO GO OVER ANSWERS TOGETHER AS A GROUP

Lesson Evaluation:(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why?) This should be completed for each lesson ASAP
