Clarity in the classroom

Clarity in the Classroom Author: Michael Absolum
Workshop from Toni

Making learning intentions clear for the students.
Knowing where students are to pitch their learning criteria.

Example writing lesson:
Played video from literacy shed- Showed clip reminding of that they had been looking at retells.

Talk about the video with class, wrote down key feelings as the SC was to add detail....
Teacher to write plan, then students don't need to write the plan. Gave a sheet with thoughts and feelings on for them to add in their books.

Show models of how to write it. Send away able writer's reminding of the SC. 2 or 3 examples of adding feelings, challenge is to write why they are feeling a certain way. eg He was sad and asked....

Feedback just focussed on the SC of adding details through feelings. Reminder of the SC.

Clarity about what is to be learnt handout and checking where we are as a teacher on the rubric.
