Hey all, so this was our last week! Very sad in one sence because it has actually been quite fun but on the other a relief to me! I went first today with the presentations and spoke about religion in drama, I felt that at times i was a little unclear and that i was […]
This week was interesting, it set the bar for us. Ruth went first and did her presentation on Caroline Chisholm, it looked at the history of the old five dollar note and it interested her to teach SOSE to primary school students. She looked into the role that Caroline Chisholm played in history and we […]
On Monday the 12th of May we went to Essex Hights Primary for our workshoped class on ‘Invention’…it was so fun! I firstly decided to get lost and struggle to find the class. I sat and waited in this large multipurpose drama looking room for fifteen minutes and then decided to go and ask someone […]
This lesson was creative! Next week we are going to Essex Hieghts Primary School to teach a drama lesson based on ‘Inventions’. So today we are organising what we are going to do.
We first looked at how the students were going to be involved in the drama…what could they be: Inventors, technicians, Salesmen, engineers and […]
The class was based on an article called ‘Dramathink’ that we had looked at during the week but it was not really thoroughly looked at. The coversation moved on into asking about the imigration museum, convicts and also a red leather suitcase that a poor lady who had lost everything bought with her wedding ring, […]
The warm up:
Today we started off by playing a game, this game was one that i had played before with quite a few variations. It was called ‘Zip, Zap, Boing’ and it is very funny and made me laugh very much whilst learning the ‘extras’.
The game begins with a zip being passed around the circle, […]
Today we started the class by talking about what the others did while we were on practicum rounds. They went to Essex Primary School and they did a session based on Journalism, they all got into characters and they definitely looked like they enjoyed it in the photos they showed us. We will be doing […]
So its the first week back from teaching rounds and its back to the reality of uni and doing work once more! I had a lot of trouble on my rounds as I sprained my ankle and then was failed for not doing the rounds in the specified time! Very disappointing but I guess these […]
We began this class by looking at the text ‘Luke’s Way of Looking’ by Wheatley and Ottley. The story looked at a boy who saw things differently, he painted things that the other boys didn’t and knew that he was different, his teacher would not accept his style of painting and told him to draw […]
Although i was absent for this lesson my understanding was that the class looked at two lessons run by two different people, looking into the way the students were engaged, how they found solutions and resolutions to problems or obstacles. The classes were skill based, knowledge based and used cognitive learning.
In the reading ‘Learning through […]
