We are learning about visual language.
We are learning to make visually appealing signs and posters.

Lesson Plan

Reflection: The lesson on the whole went really well. The children enjoyed the variety in the lesson and we used the chat function a lot to collect ideas and share. This meant the well most learner were actively involved you won't hear a lot of learner voice in the video. I was surprised by the lack of prior knowledge about visual language and had to adapt to playing a game to get the idea across. Teaching on Google Meet is very different to face to face teaching but given the resources we had I think the learners and I did very well developing knowledge of a new range of ideas.

Things to note- Due to permissions you may hear the voice of a child but not see them this was done intentionally. I had planned to use the Jamboard more collaboratively but due to children using two different devices and being unfamiliar with Jambaord we ended up using it more as a digital whiteboard.
