Review of homework
Review of group work
Educator note
This is the last session focussing specifically on group work. In it we review the key elements of the previous sessions, and then give time to an extended planning task.
Unit 3 on group work covered a number of topics, including same-task and different-tasks group work (3.1), supporting reasoning and managing groupwork (3.2), mixed pace groupwork with and without ICT (3.3), group work with ICT (3.4), and talking points and effective group work (3.5).
Types of group work
- All doing same, differentiated feedback (“same task groupwork”)
- Groups doing different activities (carousel-style groupwork)
- All do different activities, build towards single picture (“different tasks groupwork”, e.g. Abel to trial with new continent; groups trace their region, build up to whole world)
Managing group work outside the classroom: [Unit 4]
- Using available resources? (Need to know what is available- books, newspapers, technology etc)
Do an extended planning task.
