Class on Air T4 L3 Friendship 3.mp4

Direct Instruction

Children will be reading a story called "Badge of Honour". The children will use their knowledge from text to combine with new idea (own and others) to come up with new thinking.


They will be learning to identify several ideas, discuss the author's stance or purpose, and understand the relationships in text and consistently draw conclusions and get meaning from text by 'reading between the lines'.

Reflection

I enjoyed teaching this lesson, the children enjoyed this text and they all had different thinking towards the situation in the story. The story ends, and we all wanted to read part 2. Looking over the lesson, the same children contributed to the discussion and others are just sitting. Something to be mindful of next time. As this lesson only shows a snippet of the reading lesson, the children discuss later in the piece what they think they would do - interesting to see who just sits on the fence and those who chose to say nothing.
