    Small group discussion (25 mins)  
       
   
  • Identify the three main questions asked by the experienced teacher in this lesson conference. You can follow the transcript of this conversation, provided in Appendix 1 of this Unit. Consider carefully the way these questions are phrased. Can you think of better ways to ask the same questions?

  • If you were participating in this conversation, what points might you make on how to deepen the learning outcomes and improve the methods? Can you think of a concrete example to illustrate your suggestion?
  • Look back to the second paragraph of the Introduction of this Unit, and you will see a number of factors listed that have a bearing on the choice of methods and their relevance to the intended learning outcomes. From your own practical experience, do you agree with these factors and are some more important than others? Also, are there additional factors that you would add to the list?

(Perhaps you would like to write the responses of your group members to these questions on an OHT, for presentation in the follow-up discussion.)
