Notes on Section G  Planning

The main aims of this section are:
  • To plan, teach and evaluate a lesson drawing on the new ideas introduced in these workshop materials. 
  • To prepare for the next workshop session by reading case-study material.
Notes on the activity follow:

G1  Using the new ideas

Whatever selection of activities are used in this workshop, this final activity should be seen as essential. It is a central feature of the design of these workshops that teachers should have the opportunity to try out ideas they have learned from the workshop in the classroom. In their planning of the trial lesson, teachers are encouraged to make explicit the reasons for their choices, and to think about how they relate to some of the issues raised in the workshop. This may be difficult for some teachers for whom this kind of process is not part of their usual practice. Eliciting this kind of thinking should be a major focus for the trainer in this activity.
