Most of the discussion focused around the delivery of the
lesson. After a while we realised that the teaching strategy we wanted to
implement did not really suit the topic. We originally wanted to do a “station
based” practical activity as an introduction. This realisation then sparked
lively debate around suggestions as to what strategy will then work. We debated
a normal hook, an introductory video clip, teacher demonstration, because this suited the topic
that we were focussing on.
During the Cell time, we refined the worksheet and questions
as well as the time management strategies to manage the students’ focus on
different tasks during the lesson.
What we have learned from this experience: The teaching
strategy should match the content as well as the objective for the lesson. We
are going to experiment with time management strategies during this lesson and
see whether it works better for this type of lesson.
