Activities during the Learning Session

Here you specify the order and nature of the "core" set of [Ph2ActivitiesIntroduction learning activities] that you want students to carry out during the learning session itself. Use other sections of your plan to design:

• Preparatory activities for completion before the session
• Extension and/or reinforcement activities
• Assessed activities for completion either during or after the session
• Non-assessed follow-up activities for completion after the session
• Alternative activities that form part of your contingency plan

If you want to try a new technique or tool for a familiar form of activity, choose either What technology can I use for...? or What can I do with...? for ideas, tips and examples.

For each activity:

• Give it a brief title or label (e.g. 5-10 words)

• What is the nature of the activity: i.e.
  • What will students do, and what techniques will you use (e.g. note-taking, question-and-answer, brainstorming, mind-mapping, role play or one of the techniques listed on the Teaching Approaches & Techniques page)?
  • How will you accommodate differentiation? Will you need to create separate extension and/or reinforcement activities?
  • Will you offer students a choice in what they do?

• Which learning outcome does the activity support? You might want to look back to the Learning Outcomes page. Subject to functionality: may have drop-down list.

• How long should the activity take (start & end times, or duration)?

• Will students work individually, in pairs or in groups during the activity? If working collaboratively:
  • How big are the groups?
  • How do you want to divide up the students? (i.e. Can they choose, or do you want to decide yourself?)

• How would you describe the teacher’s role (or roles) in this activity?
  • Examples: coach, leader, facilitator, instructor, mentor, moderator, presenter, supervisor

• How will students get support and/or feedback?
  • While they work or after they have finished?
  • From the teacher, computer or each other?

• What tools and resources will students need? e.g. books, handouts, Websites, IT, other equipment. Either include a short list on this page or remind yourself to look at the Resources page. Subject to functionality: may have drop-down list.
