Supervising Teacher Feedback:

Good lead in discussion about

the writing task. The students
came up with some valuable
ideas.

Most children were able to write

down very interesting ideas.

Great that you were roaming

and supporting the learning at
tables. This is where the real
learning happens.

Well done for clarifying

difference between personal
event (e.g. birthday) and
community event (Anzac Day,
Melbourne Show)

Well done for being aware of

students like Beth and
welcoming her ideas.

Good questioning to ensure

children justified their choices
e.g. why is that organization
important to our community?

Great that you made links with

the traditional stories i.e.
was that story passed down? By
whom?

When teaching the whole

cohort on the floor, do touch
base with the daydreamers
from time to time and ask them
questions to keep them
involved in the learning.
(Daniel, Luke, Jack, Joel
especially).
Write some of the students
ideas on the whiteboard to
support those who have trouble
remembering the task.
Ask the children to paraphrase
what they need to do. There
was some confusion at the
beginning of the lesson
