Machines Reading + Writing

***Before class place the number 1 to identify the station, do the same for the other 3 stations  students will physically rotate around the world stations every 3 minutes

• Tell sts they are going to read a text about machines by traveling to different reading ‘stations’

• Pass out the Handouts to each kid and put them into pairs

• Tell students that they will start at the station that they are first assigned and then rotate

• Students get exactly 3 minutes in each station – no more. If they finish early, ask additional questions and have them have them explore deeper

• Students should move to filling out information from the next paragraph after 3 minutes

• The questions:

1. Describe Machines.

2. How many types are there in machines?

3. What is the name of machines?

Circulate often during this activity showing students how to answer etc.

Differentiation by grouping: Students should be paired in mixed ability groups so that they finish at similar times and can support one another. Students needing extra support may take their vocabulary words around the room with them.

• Check the task as a class

• Invite learners to stand in a circle

• Ask students the mini thinking/reflection questions

Reflect, Revisit Learning Goals & Check with Questions

• Have the teacher helper re-read the learning goals for the day

• Ask students to reflect on if they feel they have achieved the learning goals

• Smiling feedback (If you think that you have worked well today and you have no questions, go to the happy smile with the word “Super!”. If you need help or you have questions about the lesson, then go to sad smiles with the word “Help” or “?” sign)

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?

***See in text notes about specific differentiation techniques

In general:

• Allow for flexible groupings and cooperative learning, depending on the appropriateness to the task

• Allow for extra time for students needing it, when appropriate

• Give extra text or visual support to students needing extra English support

• Create small learning groups for students needing extra support or enrichment with the co-teacher, when appropriate

• Encourage high-performing students to lead activities and support others during challenging tasks

• Provide interesting puzzles, texts etc. to those students who finish early

• Use open-ended tasks and questions so students may take their learning in their own directions

• When possible, allow for student choice of task

Informally throughout the lesson and specifically through:

3.S3 – they use 3-5 new adjectives to describe machines.

3.W3 – write at least 3 simple, guided sentences describing machines.
