Framework: - Investigate and make judgements, within a range of Australian Curriculum technologies specialisations, on how technologies can be combined to create designed solutions (ACTDEK047).
Prior knowledge of learners:
In the previous lesson students have been introduced to the purpose of food and the five food groups. They have begun to investigate and discuss a number of key nutrients required for a healthy body. Lesson objective/s By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: Identify the importance of correct daily nutrient intake. Identify key nutrients required in ones daily food intake Identify the types of nutrients which target particular areas of the body. Evidence of learning: Students will participate in a number of class discussions and activities that align with the selected topic to demonstrate their understanding of key nutrients. Clarification and check for understanding Monitoring student work and ensure that they are taking notes and engaging in discussion Open ended question strategies to engage the learner and check for understanding. Classroom Management Strategies: Students are to be aware of routine and expectations in the classroom. Encourage students to ask questions. Gentle remained for students to remain on task. Implement positive reinforcements. Utilise 1, 2, 3, eyes on me technique. Resources: Class Roll, laptop, projector, white board, whiteboard markers, teacher power point: nutrients, kahoot. Differentiation considerations: - Visual prompts for various learners present in class (characteristics detailed in class profile table) - Teacher aide utilised to assist identified SEP students with reading difficulties (implement simplified word search activity) - Support student learning with ongoing monitoring and questions to provide further clarification when necessary. - Provide additional time for select students to complete tasks (refer to class profile and OneSchool table) - Form students into small groups of fast and slow paced learners for additional learning support Lesson Before beginning the lesson, the educator should ensure that they have Introduction enough resources for all students in the class. Introducing the Write the lesson objectives and numerous instructions on the board. topic When the students arrive at the classroom for todays lesson they should Engagement of be instructed to line up quietly before the educator allows them to enter the learners the classroom. Mark Roll Introduce learning goal Previous lesson observations have demonstrated that the students learn best when they understand the specifics of the tasks that they are required to do. Step-by-step instructions ensure that students are able to complete tasks within their own self-pace and achieve the learning goal. Lesson Body Activity 1 Completion of the remaining nutrient slide show present Delivering the Take the opportunity to revisit a number of components discussed in the content through previous lesson to provide further clarification to students. specific strategies Students are to be encouraged to take turns reading from the slides if comfortable and participate in classroom question and answers. Reminder that this is voluntary, this will ensure that Student F remains calm and does not become overwhelmed by the possibility of reading aloud to the class.
Students will be instructed to take notes throughout the presentation.
Provide further clarification of nutrients, points of information and
questions when necessary.
Question: After examining the nutrients slide show presentation, why do
you personally believe that particular nutrients are more necessary to include in ones diet rather than others?
Remind students throughout the lesson what the classroom expectations
are, if students do not stop talking when asked, wait and scan, praise those for the correct behaviour.
Activity 2 Nutrient Word search
Students will complete this task individually. Ensure to provide a simplified
version of this task to student J in order for successful completion of this task.
Lesson Students are to participate in a classroom kahoot challenge to recap on
Conclusion what they have learnt throughout the week. Concluding activities Summarising the lesson Evaluation / Reflection Todays lesson ran quite smoothly, the students knew the expectations for the lesson, what was required of them, how they were to do it and why. I believe that the process of establishing clear and concise learning goals is essential to all students learning. Unfortunately during this lesson many of the students were unable to access a student laptop or internet and therefore much of the kahoot required completion as a class. This challenge lead me to believe that in the following lessons I will aim to ensure that I have a back up activity for situations like this. Differentiated practice in alignment with collected student data ensured that I was able to continue to support the diverse learning needs of students present in the classroom.
