OER4Schools/Taster materials UNISA/Discussion about renewables - seating arrangement
From OER in Education
This 3.5 mins. video illustrates a Grade 7 Zambian teacher, Brian, facilitating a whole class dialogue on renewable resources. (The background noise is a heavy rainstorm!)
Questions for reflection are:
- Notice that the teacher asked the pupils to explain their reasoning in selecting renewable and non-renewable materials. How successful was he in doing this?
- How can you get children to justify and provide reasons for their responses?
- What did you think about the horseshoe seating arrangement for this activity? Would this be feasible or effective in your classroom?
- What other seating arrangements do you know and when might you use them? Share ideas.
