Direct Instruction
Learning Intention - Locate and summarise facts about our country of choice.
Students research about their country of choice, we researched about culture, food, sports, language etc.
We then created a pitch to our customers using screencastify sharing our slides and speaking about them.
Reflection
My learners found this activity really enjoyable, it was different and they thought it wasn't linked to Literacy and that it was a research topic. I found that a few of my students were copying and pasting factual information online, we spoke about copyright after the lesson, however, I need to do more note taking with them so they know how to take information off line and write it in their own words.
Things to note
The Vlogs that they came up with, make sure you check them out below!
