Star Constellations Reading.mp4Direct Instruction
This lesson exposes the children in the hub to Star Constellations. What they are, what they are used for and why they are important.
Learning Goals:
Ask higher-level questions about the text, such as 'why' and 'how'.
Make connections between texts and real-life experiences.
Reflection
This was a great reading lesson, as the children did not know much about Star Constellations. It was good to see them gain new understanding and for those doing this as their project - it supported their thinking and research.
I was leading a lot of the discussion, it would have been good to see the children start to ask higher-order thinking questions - this is definitely a goal to see them develop.
Learning Intention
Ask higher-level questions about the text, such as 'why' and 'how'.
Make connections between texts and real-life experiences.
