Things Fall Apart - Lessons for the Whole Unit

(0)
The PPT contains lessons that I created for an entire study of the whole novel. It contains 168 slides and lessons are clearly separated by lesson title slides. The PPT was designed for other teachers to be able to follow as I was creating this for the other teachers of the Grade 10 to follow. The final assessment at the end of the unit is a writing assessment that requires students to retell a narrative event of their choice from a specific character’s point-of-view, and include content that shows an understanding of the cultural practices of the tribe. I have also included the overview of the scheme of work. The lessons are ‘IB MYP’ style lessons. The Statement of Inquiry: Stories are an effective way to communicate a society’s cultural beliefs, traditions and values. Global Concepts: Personal and Cultural Expression Key concept: Communication Related concepts: Character & Context

**How can we give waste purpose and value? **In this project, students are given a brief from a TV manufacturer to design a household product out of cardboard waste. This design project is based on a real industry brief. A global contest that challenged contestants to design innovative new objects for the home that could be made by re-purposing cardboard TV packaging. Students evidence their design process in a 22 page digital portfolio (Powerpoint) in line with the four assessment criteria. Alternatively this can be printed or used as a template. Included are teacher and student examples. A unit plan is also included. Lessons cover: ♦ Introduction to cardboard waste and the circular economy - factors and innovative solutions to minimise waste). Why is cardboard waste a growing problem? ♦ Ideation using the SCAMPER technique. Initial sketches worksheet. ♦ Advanced sketching techniques: isometric drawing - Which advanced sketching techniques do designers use? Isometric resource sheets. ♦ Planning and constructing ideas- Would someone else be able to construct my idea? Shape nets resource sheets. ♦ Iterative Design and Prototyping - How and why do we prototype? 2D design and/or physical prototyping. Evaluating our designs. ♦ Creating a Guide - How would someone else construct my idea? This project does not require the use of specialist classrooms and cardboard could be substituted with paper and scissors if necessary. This project could also be set as remote learning. This unit/project is designed for a half-term (6-8 weeks) though can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly.

MYP Maths Mini eAssessment/Mixed Topics Booklet (6/6)

(0)
Overview This booklet is ideal for students preparing for the eAssessment or at the end of MYP5/beginning of DP to review prior learning. Comes with mark scheme and cover sheet for reflection. Each booklet has three sections (communication is assessed throughout) which should take 20 - 25 minutes each: Section 1: 4 short/medium questions assessing knowing and understanding (criteria A and C) Section 2: a real life application question (criteria D and C) Section 3: an investigation (criterion B and C) Note: there is space to answer section 1 questions in the booklet but, due to the nature of an application problem and investigation, it is advised that students do this on a separate paper. Specific Topics in this booklet: Inequalities (2 marks) Scientific notation/standard form (4 marks) Linear functions (6 marks) Representing data (8 marks) Real life - circles in a personal and cultural expression context (20 marks) Investigation - exponential functions leading to geometric patterns (20 marks) How to use Homework - it is expected that students will need 72 minutes for the whole booklet so it could be given over a longer period of time or each section could be given as a shorter task. If students were self-assessing against the markscheme, this could very nicely fit into three 30 minute homework tasks. Developed into a unit assessment - the real life problem and investigation can both easily be developed into criteria based assessments purely by removing the subparts and giving students the flexibility to choose their own methods to solve the problem posed. All strands of criterion B and D are assessed in each booklet. Note: you would need to create your own rubric/task specific clarifications for this but the solutions on the markscheme would still be applicable. In class assessment - for those preparing for the eAssessment this is a great resource to test on demand recall of mixed concepts. Again, if a lesson or double lesson time does not allow for 72 minutes of assessment, different sections of the booklet can be given over a series of lessons. Class activity - end of MYP review, start of DP prior knowledge check, revision activity. Questions could be given as a quiz, a relay, a team challenge etc. Self study - some students will want a resource to prepare for the eAssessment, or for general review of their learning at the end of MYP. Coupled with the markscheme, students can work through this independently. Basis for a study plan - the reflection and next steps section can be used once the marks are filled into the given table. Students should note their strengths and areas for improvement (either mathematical concept e.g. trigonometry, or criterion specific e.g. verifying a general rule). This will make it easier to set goals and plan next steps for progress.

This scheme of work is intended to be a creative and enjoyable way to explore the novel and is suitable for an able Year 7 or a Year 8 class. I taught it over the course of a term to my Year 7 but it could be condensed into a half-term. It includes preparation for Reading and Writing assessment pieces, (a piece of descriptive writing and a reading response) as well as lots of speaking and listening activities. There are also a number of engaging research/homework activities to which this novel lends itself and some activities which can be done as drama/role-play activities but which don’t require moving desks or classrooms! All resources to accompany the scheme are included. I hope your class enjoy the novel.

Analysis of an Instagram Post

(0)
Analyzing a good Instagram post involves dissecting various elements that contribute to its effectiveness. Here’s a breakdown: Visual Appeal: The primary element of an Instagram post is its visual content. Analyze the quality of the photo or video, considering factors like composition, lighting, color palette, and clarity. Aesthetic coherence and visual storytelling are crucial. Engaging Caption: The caption complements the visual content by providing context, information, or a call to action. Evaluate the caption’s length, tone, relevance, and use of emojis, hashtags, and tagging. Hashtags and Tags: Examine the hashtags used to increase discoverability and engagement. Assess the relevance, diversity, and strategic placement of hashtags, as well as the tagging of other users or brands. Engagement Metrics: Analyze engagement metrics such as likes, comments, shares, and saves. Consider the quantity, quality, and sentiment of interactions to gauge audience engagement and resonance. Storytelling and Narrative: Assess how the post tells a story or conveys a message. Evaluate the coherence, clarity, and emotional impact of the narrative or theme presented. Call to Action (CTA): Evaluate whether the post includes a clear CTA prompting users to take a specific action, such as liking, commenting, sharing, or visiting a link. Branding and Consistency: Consider how the post aligns with the user’s brand identity and overall aesthetic. Analyze consistency in visual style, tone, messaging, and posting frequency. Audience Engagement: Examine the level of engagement generated by the post, including the quality of comments, interactions, and conversations sparked among users.

MYP Creative Writing Self-Assessment

(0)
A self-assessment sheet for criteria C & D that I have used with my classes after a creative writing exercise. Written in student friendly language, students are encouraged to consider aspects such as characterisation, sentence structure, ‘show not tell’ description and writing with precision. This resource is easily editable for any writing task but fits particularly well with narratives. This was designed for a class studying the hero’s journey structure, but you could adapt it for any other focus. I have added two sentence stems encouraging students to state something they are proud of and something they would like to work on. You could easily add something to do with your statement of inquiry or any questions they may have too.
