This lesson plan is for a Year 9 class studying An Inspector Calls. The learning goal is for students to understand feedback and write an improvements paragraph based on individual and group feedback. All students are expected to write an improvements paragraph incorporating the feedback. Formative assessment includes self-reflection, teacher questioning, and students writing an improvements paragraph. Students will have to focus on the feedback to write their paragraph, thinking about how to personally improve as well as feedback from peers and the teacher. A collaborative learning strategy of pair and sharing ideas will be used.
