◦ For each one, outline their key traits/characteristics

◦Extension Task available

In your groups 10 mins

In clockwise direction, move to the next table and reflect on what they have put◦ Is it correct?◦ Is it relevant?◦ Does it tell enough information?

Each group is to agree on a question/statement/area for improvement for each sheet of paper.

2 minutes on each table

When you’re done

When back to your table:◦ Read the annotations and discuss responses to

the questions.◦ When agreed on response write it on the sheet◦ When completed, take a photo of your sheet (so

◦ ‘Family’ has changed◦ Diversity and choice◦ ‘Love’ over necessity or security

Conflict (but.......)

I want you to create a mind map of the different theories and their key characteristics

This is something that you will add to over the coming weeks, and use for revision so think about how you want to set it out (space)

Alternatives◦ You can create a Padlet or a blog if you want to

Using your notes

What is it?◦ Structure of◦ Observed◦ Learning ◦ Outcomes

◦ Levels of increasing complexity of understanding of subject

Prestructural

What does it mean?

Really there’s not much there.

For example:

Prestructural

What do you know

about Tennis?

Err….. What?

?

Unistructural

DefineIdentifyOutline

What does it mean?

There’s one idea there.

For example:

What do you know

need a racket

Multistructural

DefineDescribeListCombine

What does it mean?

There are a number of ideas.

For example:

What do you know

about Tennis?

between two people where you hit a ball over a net, keeping it

within certain boundaries

Relational

What does it mean?There are a number of ideas and links are be made

between these ideas

For example:

What do you know about

Tennis?

It’s a game of skill played between two people. The idea is to out manoeuvre your opponent by hitting the ball over the net in such a way as to force

them to make a mistake. Whether it is their failure to return the shot or they

miss the ball.

Extended abstract

EvaluateTheoriseGeneralisePredictCreateImagineHypothesiseReflect

What does it mean?

There is a range of ideas which are linked together plus some knew or extended thinking is added.

For example:

What do you know about

Tennis?

It’s a game of skill played between two people. The idea is to out manoeuvre your opponent by hitting the ball over the net in such a way as to force

them to make a mistake. Whether it is their failure to return the shot or they

miss the ball.If you knew each players skill level

with regard to putting spin on the ball, accuracy and

speed of their serve, you could

predict the outcome of each

match

Exam

What can you do with SOLO?

Go to your ‘Family mind map’ and assess what level of SOLO you have hit in different parts◦ You can draw the diagrams, write a number, or

the word

◦ When completed I want you to assess your answers from the start of the lesson test What level are they asking you to hit? What level are they hitting? Do you need to make changes?

Using your knowledge of SOLO

Complete the reflection sheet and put it with your notes for today in your file

Key – what are you going to do to improve?◦ Set an AP on your ILP

Homework will be posted on the blog
