Whole-Class Brainstorm: What is respect? What does it mean to be respectful? And how can we show respect to one another?
Commented [K1]: 4.1 and 4.4 Whole-class brainstorm of
each students own interpretation of the word Respect. Students collaborated ideas using the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy in order to share, respond to and analyse fellow peer interpretations. This activity and relevant themes explored all act to foster creativity and imagination in the classroom, overall contributing towards a more secure, welcoming learning environment.
Students work examples:
Commented [K2]: 4.4 The posters that students created
were unique in all aspects of their design, colours and wording. Using these posters as a visual display placed around the entrance of the classroom (as shown), this acts to establish a welcoming environment for all school community members, as well as outlines immediately to everyone our united views of how we should treat one another at all times in everyday life, particularly in the classroom setting.
Teacher Feedback:
Commented [K3]: 4.1 The feedback highlights the use of
positive reinforcement as a means to encourage participation and engagement from all class members. Accepting all student responses such as tell the truth or dont lie and prompting students with other, more positive, ways to interpret what they are trying to say, be honest. This challenges students thinking in an open-ended task where rather than having one-specific answer, there are multiple-plausible solutions. This lesson about respect also enacts to reinforce the classroom rules and expectations in providing for a safe and secure learning environment.
