Direct Instruction

This lesson was filmed during the lockdown, so it is sequenced quite differently to a lesson taught in person. The students complete a short activity every day, that leads into the following days 'lesson' (Google Meet session) and activity.

In this lesson, my students first watched a video and completed an activity that explained what a clause is. This was recapped in the Google Meet session to ensure all the students grasped the concept.

The students then worked on a shared Google Doc to unpack a short text and identify dependent and independent clauses in the sentences.

The inspiration from this lesson came from PD I received from Dr Jannie Van Hees.
