WJEC Digi Tech - Lesson 31: Autonomy

NEW WJEC DIGITAL TECH RESOURCES!

Each lesson provided is for first-time teaching and they include the following components:
Starter activity – The starter is designed for knowledge retrieval, many people believe (including myself) that revision should start from the very first lesson. So each lesson the starter activity will include questions from previous topics to improve memory recall.
Exam practise – As much as we would like students to be great at exams, they need considerable practise and guidance to master the art. Each lesson includes a ‘walk and talk’ style exam question that students can work through and self-assess using the mark scheme provided.
Keywords – Each lesson will include a set of key words students will come across throughout the lesson. The really important key terms will include a definition and meaning which they can refer back to throughout the lesson.
New information – New concept is introduced and, in most cases, a video is provided which students watch and then answer a set of questions based around it. This is designed to provide some in-class discussion before moving onto the main activity.
Activity – Each lesson will include at least one activity that allows students to be more independent and dig a little deeper into the new concept. All activity sheets include answers.
Self-checker tool – This is a useful AFL tool in which students can check their understanding. The lesson could include a multiple-choice quiz which was built in Microsoft Forms.
