I check for understanding and try to engage my ELL students to actively participate in the lesson. When they are done, I then ask each group to share their fact sheets and for the rest of the class to fill out the Navajo Culture handout on the board from what they learn from their classmates. When each group has presented their fact sheets, I instruct the students to fill out the other part of the Culture handout with their own culture. We then put those answers on the board. I instruct the students to put away their worksheets until tomorrow and project cloze sentences with the new vocabulary.
They read the quote out and stick it on the board in the place they choose. They have to read it aloud and allow students adequate time to copy it down. They have to explain why they have chosen to attach it to ‘Darkness’, ‘Light’ or if they have placed it in-between. Then they must manage a response to the interpretation of the quote (prompts are used underneath the quotes themselves). This means that they ask the class and as students put their hands up; they take ideas and record them on the board.
Alternative #2: Spelling Based Instruction, on pages 234 and 235, is an approach that focuses on each child individual level of knowledge. It is a good way to figure out where each child is in the process of learning to read, write, and spell; and then build upon in successfully. The text suggests an informal assessment by placing the children in the class into groups and have them write something. This observe what level they are on. Based on what level they are on, then move them into a group of children that are at the same level.
When first introducing to a lesson, a graphic organizer can be used to assess and organize a student’s knowledge on the lesson topic. An easy way to utilize a graphic organizer in this way is to have the students fill out a KWL chart. This organizes key information regarding what the student currently knows, what the student wants to know, and later on what the students have learned as a direct result of the lesson. This provides the instructor a learning history of what they can build upon and clues them in on areas of interest they can use later on in the lesson. During the lesson, students can utilize graphic organizers to identify, organize and assimilate key concepts and related details.
Grammar: Embedded Questions. Context: I was eliciting information about the context of the reading seen last class, with the aim of having the students produce language freely while reviewing comprehension of the class. Comment: I asked the following question: “Can you tell me, Who they are?. This is correct considering that an embedded question is a question that is included inside another question or statement and they are commonly used after introductory phrases, such as: I wonder, Can you remember, Let’s ask, etc. b.
Other teachers and T.A’s from the same year group may be present here to share suggestions and advice. Teaching assistants should be a lot more actively involved in delivering learning activities. This may be by setting up the room with the correct resources before the lesson takes place and laying out the tables and chairs etc. One to one support may be needed for some pupils; this should have been discussed before the lesson. It may be that the T.A is put to work with one specific table/group of children or just float around the classroom and be available if any of the children ask for help.
A2. Use your answer in part A1 to explain whether Student 1 will receive an A for the class if the teacher truncates the percentage to a whole number. Type your answer here. Full sentences and doubled spaced. A3a.

However for the other students in the class we would be working on their targets during this time. Adapting the maths lesson on the NC to them all individually, we have TAs on a one to one with each child so they get the best help, and while Lillie is being asked by her TA at the time another TA would be working with their student for instance working on the physical skills to knock a green bottle over as they are learning, how to use their arms etc. We use the NC and EYFS, we adapt all to the children we have in our class individually, making sure they are getting the best development skills for them at that time. Task 3 – 3.1 Methods of observations include the following; * Snapshot – Which means; you observe the pupil at a specific time, for example, behaviour during a certain activity. * Structured – this would be observing a pupil during a particular activity set up to gain exact information about the pupils learning.
Children will have a one on one session with their teachers so that the teachers will be able to ask questions and so will the student. There will also be small assignments that will be completed in class as well as homework that is sent home so that the children can continue to practice their skills and continue to increase their learning curve. There will also be short question and answer sessions so that the teacher can make notations of where the children need more assistance. Each method will be used for each child. The teachers will observe the children during free play and during assigned activities so that they can make valid notations and observations about the cognitive development of the child.
