Developing skills of Reading Comprehension
This document provides tips for improving reading comprehension. It defines reading comprehension as understanding both the literal and implied meanings in a text. Good reading comprehension is important for school, work, and leisure. The document recommends understanding your current reading habits, improving vocabulary, and reading for pleasure. Specific tips include stopping when confused and summarizing, reading aloud, re-reading sections, discussing texts, and being patient with the process of improvement.
Intropagepowerpt
This document outlines goals and strategies for critical reading and writing in an English composition course. It discusses avoiding distractions to read closely and annotate texts by underlining, circling, and making notes. For writing, it compares the process to mountain climbing, suggesting to start early, outline responses, and write "shitty first drafts." It recommends getting feedback from others and being willing to revise through multiple drafts to improve writing. The overall message is that critical reading and writing is an iterative process that requires focus, planning, feedback, and revision.
Learning teaching append
This document provides 8 observation tasks for students to complete when observing an English language classroom. The tasks focus on different elements of classroom interaction including mapping student and teacher participation, identifying stages of a lesson, determining lesson objectives, focusing observation on a single student, analyzing teacher feedback, and noting student errors and corrections. The tasks are intended to guide students' observation and analysis of classroom dynamics, teaching techniques, and the learning process.
Sami - Revision in the Writing Process
The document discusses the importance of revision in the writing process. It provides several steps for revising a paper, including taking a break after the first draft, checking for basic essay components, ensuring the paper does not deviate from the thesis, reading it aloud for clarity, addressing mechanics, and repeating the revision process as needed. Revision helps improve the rhetoric, decrease writing anxiety, and can boost a paper's grade. Resources like peer editing and the writing center can provide helpful feedback for revision.
Performance task 3.2
The document provides instructions for creating a 3.5-hour lesson plan to introduce trigonometry to 4th year students taking college entrance exams. It explains that trigonometry review is typically condensed to just 1 day. The lesson plan should include an engaging introduction, discussion of topics with examples, assessment exercises, and synthesis.

Mark as you go
Teacher Zara outlines a "Mark As You Go" writing activity where students write a paragraph with at least 3 sentences. As students work, the teacher circulates and stamps paragraphs that meet the criteria without correcting grammar or vocabulary. This provides immediate feedback to help students identify mistakes and improve. Benefits include students receiving early feedback to guide their work, an opportunity to correct errors with peers, and the teacher gaining insights into student understanding to pace the lesson effectively.
Maximising Marking
The document discusses focused marking, which involves:
- The teacher challenging students to improve or correct their work based on feedback, and giving students time to do so.
- Marking focusing on one set of student books to provide detailed feedback.
- Feedback including questions referring to lesson objectives to move learning forward.
- Students taking more responsibility for their learning by responding to feedback in subsequent lessons.
Consistency : Marking as part of a holistic approach
The document discusses focusing lesson objectives and marking on a single skill. Having a specific focus allows students to better understand how to progress and makes marking quicker. It emphasizes that clear and concise marking along with focusing on one skill at a time makes it easier for students to understand expectations and feel less daunted by the tasks. Reinforcing objectives verbally and with repetition reduces student confusion over what is expected of them.

The document then provides examples of different study patterns and argues that interleaving topics with tests leads to the best test results. Finally, it lists different types of low-risk, frequent testing methods that can be used in the classroom to improve student learning through retrieval practice.
Teaching students to write effective revision notes
The document discusses teaching students to write effective revision notes. It explains that brains have evolved over millions of years to prioritize remembering locations, images, and communication rather than written language. While brains are good at learning, they are poor at later locating information. The document provides rationale for recommendations when writing revision notes, such as minimizing words, using symbols, including titles and chunking information, to make information more efficiently memorable and testable.
The "Display" display
The document provides tips for creating effective classroom displays including keeping displays fresh every half term, using the school ethos and student work in displays, making displays engaging with color and font size, and ensuring displays have a clear purpose in reinforcing skills and concepts for students. It emphasizes making displays functional, tidy, and accessible for students.
The Value of Learning from our Mistakes
This document discusses the importance of learning from mistakes and student ownership of learning. It provides examples of drawing targets for students to improve specific skills like using a wider range of tones or adding finer details. The document outlines the rules of critique for providing feedback to other students, including being kind, specific, and giving a top tip. It shows examples of a drawing improving from heavier outlines and less tone variation to a refined shape, better tonal range, and details. Students are given time to apply the feedback and advice to their final shell drawing.
Discussion and arguments in Science
This document discusses dialogic teaching and developing arguments. It explains that dialogic teaching involves teachers and students addressing learning tasks collectively and building on each other's ideas. The goals are cognitive learning, understanding how knowledge is obtained, and social development. Students learn to structure arguments with an idea, evidence to support it, explaining how the evidence relates to the idea, considering opposing arguments, and how to convince others. The document provides examples of using this approach to discuss topics like food miles and funding a new zoo.
Making it stick
The document discusses how memory works through storage strength and retrieval strength. Storage strength increases the more an item is accessed, making it stronger in memory. Retrieval strength is how accessible the information is at that moment. Items with high storage strength and easily retrieved have the highest chance of being remembered. Testing can improve memory retention more than just studying, with spacing out tests over time being most effective.
Acronyms
This document discusses the history of medicine and medical advances from ancient Rome to the 19th and 20th centuries. It describes how the ancient Romans established public health systems with aqueducts, public baths, sewers, and town planning to prevent illness. It then outlines key figures and discoveries in anatomy, surgery, circulation, pain relief, infection, and bleeding including Vesalius, Harvey, Davy, Simpson, Lister, Landsteiner.
Effective Feedback
This document discusses providing effective feedback to students by personalizing feedback, using peer feedback and self-assessment, and marking for progress over time rather than just scores or grades.
Differentiation
This document discusses differentiation strategies for teaching students. It recommends starting with students' prior knowledge and creating challenges to promote problem solving. Teachers should pitch lessons at a level slightly above students' current abilities and provide scaffolding and feedback. The goal of differentiation is to make the thinking easier for students rather than just making tasks simpler. Both the skeletal and muscular systems are necessary to allow movement and participation in sports.

of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Time management and organisation of purposeful marking
- 2. TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION OF PURPOSEFUL MARKING 1. Managing/prioritising workload - assessment/class notes. Use of a monitoring sheet; Fitting with PPAs.
- 3. TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION OF PURPOSEFUL MARKING 2. Speed: taking books in open; only commenting on THAT piece of work; linking comments to an LO. Assessments collected in alphabetical order and mark slips glued in by students.
- 4. TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION OF PURPOSEFUL MARKING 3. Ensuring marking is purposeful: general feedback at start of following lesson (linked to the LO), followed by 'purple pen' time - which could include 'own starting point' intervention 'Act' tasks.
- 5. HL Feedback Horse Whisperer Responses Good interpretation Secure use of quotations – sometimes embedded. MUST focus explicitly on poet’s intentions and reader reaction.
- 6. DO NOW: review your marked work. Collect a purple pen: Respond to any questions – develop longer responses. Do any ACT tasks. Use dictionaries to do any spelling corrections. Correct marked punctuation errors. You may need to collect an intervention worksheet to complete.
- 7. TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION OF PURPOSEFUL MARKING 4. Monitoring of books: Could be half termly/termly Tick ‘n’ flick – overview comments. EG on general state of book, detail of notes…
- 8. AND FINALLY… SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF MARKING AT ONCE...TALK TO YOUR LINE MANAGER!
