More advertising, focusing on higher order questions: Languages 2

Last weeks suggestion has been delayed, until the presenter is... present. We moved on with the second presenter, Ronelle Lochner, who is planning a lesson on advertising for her Gr. 10 class. She gave an outline of why advertising is important (it is in the final matric paper. This led to a rich discussion around cultural differences and the impact of multiculturalism on the interpretation of visual (and other) texts. Ronelle will present this Friday morning from 07.55-08.45. The lower school members of our cell will ask to be excused from their assembly. Ronelle will send through final lesson materials to cell members by Wednesday. We also had a discussion about a visual version of Bloom’s taxonomy, which Ronelle had sent to us during last week. The importance of higher order questions came up in relation to differentiation within assessment. Gala raised the importance of creating an equivalent Setswana version of Bloom’s taxonomy. This will aid students because they will know what is expected of them in answering questions.
