Reflection:

During this integrated learning unit, my students had multiple opportunities to practise and develop their literacy knowledge and skills and key competencies. All of the students stayed engaged during our online lessons and kept working on their tasks independently to be able to participate in every subsequent lesson. The students worked together creating a common understanding of how and why we had to follow certain steps and rules when preparing and conducting the interview. This ‘behind the scenes’ work led to a successful and enjoyable interview for all the parties.

I shared my multimodal site and personal experience of teaching interviewing skills during distance learning with my school colleagues. One of the Year 5-6 teacher decided to give it a go too, and her feedback was very rewarding.
