Learning Focus:
VELS Strands
Students compose, comprehend and respond to an expanding range of texts in print and audiovisual and electronic forms that contain increasingly unfamiliar concepts, themes, information and issues.
How will you identify what they have learnt and how will you record or note this
Evidence How will you identify what they have learnt and how will you record or note this Through constant discussion in whole group discussion and viewing all childrens ideas I will get a better understanding of whether children have the idea of paraphrasing. I will also discuss with Sharon if there is a cause for concern of children not understanding the concept.
When listening to spoken texts, they identify the main idea and supporting details and summarise them for others. They identify opinions offered by others, propose other relevant viewpoints and extend ideas in a constructive manner.
What is your starting point what do the students already know, what have they done before, how does this connect to or build on their existing knowledge?
Through discussion sessions over the last 2 weeks of caf reading students show they have an understanding of paraphrasing, this lesson will build on this by teaching the children a number of ways to paraphrase.
What materials and resources will you need to have prepared? What will you concentrate on yourself eg; classroom management, lesson flow, voice, positioning, engagement etc?
Ensuring the lesson flows and is within time. Maintain classroom management; strong clear voice, step on naughty behaviours early to ensure children do not feel they can walk all over me. Be excited to teach the students to enhance their motivation to learn.
Stage of lesson
Stage 1 Introduction How will you engage and stimulate the interest of the students? Include possible questions that you may choose to use Demonstrations etc Stage 2 Body of lesson Describe each distinct task in the order to be undertaken. Start a new task each time the teacher or students behave in a different manner. State an estimated length of time for each task. Ensure that there is some form of prompt or reinforcement available for students Stage 3: Conclusion How will you draw the findings of the lesson together so that the students can evaluate what they have learnt? Stage 5: Closure Do you need to prepare the students for handing over to another teacher, or another subject PRAISE? Have the students done well? Worked hard?
Tasks/ Activity/Challenges/?
Put up on the board what the children will need. Quick discussion about Paraphrasing with students. Explain what it is? How do we paraphrase?
Time

Student action
Engaging in discussion. One person talking at a time.
Teacher action
Questioning, moving around the room. Ensuring constant engagement from all students.
In their books get children to have a go at paraphrasing, following the rules one at a time as a class. Rules; 1. Read the passage carefully. 2. Decide the main ideas of the passage. 3. Highlight important words or phrases. 4. Put the main points in your own words. Once they have attempted rules 1 and 2 individually, allow them time to discuss with people close by the main ideas; Do the same after 3 and 4.

Remain focused on task at hand, sitting at desks Working quietly and independently when asked and then when prompted discuss with peers there ideas.
Ensuring students stay on task by continual movement around the room. Offering positive feedback to the children while also questioning their ideas.
Finish off with showing my example of paraphrasing and ask students to compare their own examples with this. Why does paraphrasing help us with our reading?
Ask students about their caf reading goals. Then ask them to read on focusing on their specific goals.

Reflection on Lesson
How was the timing or the flow of the lesson? What other observations did you make ? Did you manage the learning environment effectively? Did you explain the science concepts clearly?
Did you meet your own focus objectives? Could you still improve in that area? Were there other areas you feel you could concentrate on in the future? What were the positive points of your lesson?
