Video/Judith portfolio recording - talking points.mp3/reflection
The image here shows a copy of Judith's portfolio submission for this activity. In this case she has written her reflection and then recorded herself reading it. It is not necessary to present two versions of your reflections, one or other would be fine. How are your portfolios's coming on? Ask yourself the following questions:
- When you reflected on the talking points activity did you record the subject and topic of the lesson?
- Did you comment on how the pupils specifically/personally responded to the talking points?
- Where there any unexpected points made by the pupils?
- Did your talking points spark a discussion between pupils (as it did in Judith's case with the snake)? If so, what was is?
- What evidence do you have that interactive teaching and learning took place? This will most likely come from the conversations that took place between the pupils so you should record this in your reflection.
- What adjustments will you make when you do the talking points activity again?
Use the remaining time now to work on your portfolios, making sure that your reflections are meaningful and in enough depth with enough detail. You should include at least one portfolio entry based on an aspect of group work. Work with a partner if you would find it useful to have their feedback on what you have written. Use Judith's portfolio entry as a useful example to follow if you are unsure about how much to write.
