Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners? | Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning? | Cross-curricular links Science, Critical thinking Value links |
Additional support: More-able learners: | by monitoring the answers they are giving or writing. If there is a mistake, let a student know where he is lacking correct information. While listening pause the recording where necessary to give ss time to write down answers. | Learners may work individually applying skills and knowledge to a practical task. All of these lesson features reflect NIS values as suggested in the NIS Trilingual Implementation Strategy, and correlate with the aims of critical and creative thinking, and effective communication set out in the Subject Programme for G8 English. |
