Student Led Learning (Credit: Ashley)
14th November 2014
Please find below the teaching and learning email from this week.
Teaching Strategy:
The aim is to end up with a complete text analysed by the students, who first work in groups or pairs and then share their ideas with each other (student as teacher style).
Allow students the opportunity to teach each other. For example, I would do this with an extract, such as a news article or part of a story. I would model an example of how to analyse/summarise/evaluate etc. whatever the skill is, by giving them the first paragraph or sentence of an entire extract. Students could then be paired/grouped (also allowing for differentiation) and given some time to prepare an analysis/summary etc. of one particular part without seeing the entire script.
Next, give the students the entire text and ask them to go through it chronologically teaching each other the key points to analyse and annotate an entire extract. Students will take it in turns at the front of the class to teach the main points to the others. You can ensure they cover all important points through your questioning techniques, but hopefully other students will do this for you!
For other subjects:
Art, for example, could look at a particular artist and analyse imagery etc.
Science could look at different processes, functions etc.
History could summarise key events etc.
Hopefully this will be useful. I did this for an OFSTED lesson just last year and it was very successful!
