Emma+Lesson

ASSESSMENT As this lesson is an introductory lesson it is designed to find out students prior knowledge of the topic. The assessment type that will be used is assessment for learning. The Tasmanian literacy curriculum states that assessment for learning is used to inform teachers of student’s progress to aid them in their planning for further lessons (Department of Education, 2009). Throughout the lesson anecdotal notes can be made on students progress, this is an informal way of assessment. When scaffolding students learning teachers can ask specific questions to not only inform the student but to also gain knowledge for the future.

CURRICULUM LINKS Reading and viewing strand of the Tasmanian literacy curriculum, standard 3 stage 9. Learning outcome At the conclusion of this lesson students will be able to make informed judgements about advertisements and the impact they have on the reader/viewer/listener. DO you need anything else?

Hi Emma, Can you check out the overview page as the learning outcome that you have selected is already taken (mine) there are two others that would suit your lesson. Cheers Ingrid. Sara and I are on MSN now if you want to chat. Don't forget about the rationale.

Hey Emma, thanks for getting the assessment stuff on there, there is obviously a problem with 2 lessons on the same learning outcome, how can we fix that? -Sara

DEAS.....

Hi Guys. Here are my thoughts on a lesson. I was thinking of going through a newspaper with the students and looking at all the different articles they could put in ie classifieds, comics, sporting, news etc and seeing what each one contained for example there are not going to be speach bubbles in a news article. I would then give students examples of these and ask them to find the similarites and differences betweent them

Also another idea maybe a lesson on how to write an atricle, for example talk about the indended audience etc

Another lesson that could follow on from the first example Im thinking of was a trip to the Mercury (local hobart paper) to see how it is all put together.

Let me know what you guys think and how you are going with yours. Thanks Emma

**Hey Emma, I really like your Mercury idea, I'm just not sure how that would fit into a 2 week unit though, simply because at my school the kids are lucky to go on an excursion once a term, and not for a 2 week unit. That is only my experience though. Also there would have to be lessons surrounding the excursion etc. We really need to nail the context so that it can be sent in tomorrow! All your other ideas are great too. Leeanne has her idea for the context up, why don't you put in some changes to accommodate your ideas or fit it into the current context?** Sara**
