Class: 7NE
(mixed ability sets)
indicate levels of attainment
Date:
20/4/2016
Time: 12:20 –
13:25
No. of pupils:
30
Unit /SoW: The Hunger Games
Key Learning Goals:
ref. to exam board criteria/NC as
appropriate
… in pupil-friendly format:
1) To be able to describe the scene of
the reaping in detail
2) To be able to recall what happens
in Chapter One
Expected Learning Outcomes:
all pupils? some pupils? a few
pupils?
All pupils will understand the
techniques to describe the reaping
in vivid detail. Students will produce
their own ideas for each technique
on a A3 piece of paper, and they will
share their ideas to the rest of the
class. Pupils will write a diary entry
for homework.
Opportunities for Assessment:
Formative & summative
Recap – students will summarise what we read last lesson so that it allows
them to access their prior knowledge
Class reading – As a class, students will read ‘The Hunger Games’, using
the lollipop method. Teacher will ask why it is important to read aloud.
Clip from the film – students will watch the ‘reaping’ clip, thinking about
the atmosphere of District 12
Think, Pair, Share – students will think about what techniques are used as
a pair, and share it to the class. This will allow them to think about what
they already know
Group work – students will have a technique that they will have to write
words and phrases for. By doing this collaboratively, this will help with
differentiation and teamwork.
Carousel – one student in the group will stay with their work, whilst the
rest of the class will move around and make notes from each group. This
will give them ideas for their homework.
Cognitive challenges:
Desirable difficulties for all abilities; how will students progress?
Using techniques to vividly describe District 12 – by using collaborative
techniques and a carousel, this will help students who are weaker, as well as let
the stronger students take the leading role.
2. EBT strategies:
e.g. APK, reciprocal teaching, collaborative learning, advance & visual organisers,
similarities and differences, goals, repetition and practice, meta-cognition,
feedback, cognitive challenge, subject knowledge, summaries and note-taking
Collaborative learning – students will be working together when they are
writing down words and phrases for each technique. This will allow for
differentiation, with the stronger ones leading the group and guiding ones
who may be weaker.
