Direct Instruction
This year I've had quite a focus on improving the literacy of students in my classes, and Year 13 hasn't been any different. This lesson was different to the ones I usually plan, where I would get students to learn something, then answer questions or interpret the information in a new way, or create a model of what we've discussed, or even just to write something to reflect. In this lesson we purely talked, and not at all about content. It was all about perspectives and the student's own opinions, to introduce to them the idea that their next internal required them to form a personal position and critically evaluate the information they assign value to.
