The facilitator may like to record what lesson pacing strategies each pair of teachers has suggested, to remind the group what has been said. You could do this on the blackboard, a large sheet of paper, or using a computer and projector. These could be some possible responses for over-running of a lesson: | The facilitator may like to record what lesson pacing strategies each pair of teachers has suggested, to remind the group what has been said.

In this session we are watching video that was produced in a school near Cape Town in South Africa. The school is located in a township, and the class is a Grade 7 class, with about 40 students. The teacher (Noxolo) planned a mathematics activity day on making three-dimensional shapes out of paper, so that the learners could get hands-on experience of building and understanding those shapes. We will return to this lesson in the unit on enquiry and project-based learning. | In this session, we are watching video that was produced in a school near Cape Town in South Africa.

You may already have material in your workshop materials that you can dig out or draw on. It can be one technique (eg traffic lights or no hands up) or a whole lesson. | You may already have material in your workshop materials that you can dig out or draw on.

As part of this assessment portfolio, reflect on each item. You could do an audio reflection for this, if you have access to an audio recorder. At the start of each reflection, state clearly which item you are talking about (eg. “my class discussion about how diseases are transmitted”, or my “concept map on parts of a plant”), and then discuss the following questions: | As part of this assessment portfolio, reflect on each item.
