Feedback: Teacher asks students what task was difficult to them and which pair worked well.

Additional information

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Critical thinking

More support:

• Provide less able learners with the names of the hobbies, their definitions and translations.

• Create mixed ability groups for discussion. Ensure they are not always in the role of timekeeper.

• More able learners:

Try to justify their opinions while labelling or making any choice

• Observe learners when participating in discussion. Did each learner contribute to the discussion? If not, why not? (e.g. didn’t understand what to do; not so confident speaking English; not interested in topic; other)

• Learners managed to read the text about hobbies in groups and fill in the missing words using the words from the previous task.

Critical thinking on this lesson lies in doing reading exercise and it is based on precision, relevance, and good reasons.
