Direct Instruction

This lesson follows on from my previous episode.

The learning intentions for this lesson were:

The video shows a short review of the previous week's work, sharing of 2 Manaiakalani Film Festival movies that may be relevant to our movie script writing and some conversations between students as the collaborated on this project.

In the video, you will also see the students using a spreadsheet which we use to keep track of their tasks for a project, particularly when projects are more collaborative.

This really got me questioning how I can be more explicit with supporting students with conversing on a topic.

Things to note

If I was to do this lesson again, I would provide prompts for students to use in their conversations. These may be sentence starters or questions that they could use in response to one of their peer's comments or questions.
