Direct Instruction

The learning intention for this lesson was for students to make sense of topical and unfamiliar words by reading them into the context of the story.

The video shows a guided reading session related to our weekly topic of ANZAC. This video shows the setting up of a guided reading lesson and introduction to the text. It also shows some of my students reading throughout the session along with teacher questions related to the text. This video also shows my students working together as a group to complete the follow up task.

Reflection

I think that this lesson went pretty well considering we have been rebuilding our group norms after moving back from our hybrid learning. model earlier in the term. We had some really great discussions about what the students already knew about ANZAC day and were able to use this to break down the text and understand new words that the students came across. Some of my students in this video were a bit shy with sharing their ideas and with having masks on can be a little bit quieter than normal. I think that this lesson has shown an improvement in my students being able to share their ideas with each other as well as adjusting to our new normal in class.

Things to note

This lesson was filmed during red level setting which is why we are wearing masks and social distancing as much as possible. Some of the discussions have been cut out as the masks restricted the students sharing and the audio wasn't picked up on the recorder. While the students were working together my second camera died and I was unfortunately unaware which is why there is only one camera angle from those discussions.
