LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Separate the students into mixed ability
groups and have them spread out around
the classroom before posing the questions.
Have the students work out the problems in
these groups working collaboratively. From
this students’ who need support can learn
from the students who understand. For the
ESOL students this gives them an
opportunity to work with a range of other
students’.
PRODUCT
For some ESOL students such as student A
working in group of this size and on a
project like this can be difficult for him.
Instead he could work in a pair with a
classmate to complete the project focusing
on just physically making the aqueduct
rather than following the inquiry process
filling out the book. I believe in this case it is
most important to have student A
contributing and collaborating at some level
with the other students in the class rather
than doing a different activity. Photos can
be taken by the teacher instead to be used
in his writing later.
Competition
-outside with 15mins until the end of a day
have a competition to see who can launch
their projectile the furthest.
PROCESS
For Student A he will need more support in
the catapult building as he has no English
and is unable to understand instructions, so
we need to vary the amount of time he is
given with resources. We have noticed he is
quite visual and likes making things with his
hands. To aid in the creation of his catapult
he can have continued use of the video
throughout the process not just being able
to watch it once. Through the process of
being able to watch the video multiple
times he should be successful and be able
to participate in a full class activity.
