Battle of Hastings
I had the pleasure of an Ofsted recently - this lesson was praised by the inspector! <br />
<br />
Really straight forward lesson - <br />
<br />
first 5 mins was recap on previous lesson on Stamford Bridge - lots of gated questions<br />
They then watched the video - see ppt link - and I again asked questions following some feedback and thinking time.<br />
<br />
They then completed the sorting exercise - lots of peer review and thinking time - about 10 to 15 mins<br />
<br />
Once this was done they then responded to questions and then they completed the hierarchical triangle followed by the creation of a SPEEDL paragraph. This was supported by a writing frame to help the weaker learners - see the SPEEDL slide on the PPt.<br />
<br />
To cap the lesson off we did a magpie minute - students walking round and taking nice ideas from other people's work and then develop their initial paragraphs with Purple Pen. <br />
<br />
Overall a really pleasing lesson.
