Paul Ashman

Paul Ashman came to class to model a science lesson. This involved describing using size, shape, colour, touch and comparisons to others. This is an example of developing the nature of science strand- specifically the understanding about science and investigating capabilities. Lots of questioning and curiosity from this lesson.

Spelling Reflective Tool

This spelling Reflective Tool is constructed from the first two lists of the essential word lists. This is used to enhance the students spelling knowledge and to create fluency in writing and reading. The major teaching component is to teach students the skill of memorizing content for quick recall.

This is an example of our writing reflection tool that we use to set goals, and for the students to refer to as a visual representation of the initial 'non-negotiables' of writing according to the Literacy Progression and Curriculum exemplars. The students reflect on this independently, as a whole class discussion at the beginning and/or end of a lesson, and as part of teacher conferencing and writing groups. It is the glue and guide of our writing program, and I am currently looking at developing a next stage one as a sequential reflective tool to show a progression of skills and knowledge and writing.

This is the second version of this as the first one needed to be more specific.
