Comment [1]: Please Note this lesson is the
second lesson In a sequence of lessons which
focus on HOPE. The first lesson focused on
setting down the foundations with definitions
of hope, why it may be needed and where they
have experienced it themselves. This lesson
focuses more on how we can be hopeful when
we are presented with challenges.

Comment [3]: The assessment which took
place throughout this lesson ensured that I was
able to design lessons which were more
implicit and focused on observations
throughout the course of the lesson, proving to
be very valuable in informing me of student
learning.

You are swimming and all of a sudden a shark appears,

what would you be hopeful for? Would it be that it doesnt
recognise you, that you will be able to stay very still, that you
have no cuts on you, that there is a cage between you and
the shark or that it is a baby harmless shark.

Contribute to class discussions

T will give each S a scenario and ask them to consider what

they may be hopeful for within the scenario.
T will ask Ss to pair up with someone and discuss there
scenarios and choose one of these to continue with, Ss will
be required to debate which is a better demonstration of
Hope. 2 pairs will then become a group of 4, Ss must pair up
based on a theme, to ensure there are no groups of Ss who
will distract one another. Ss must choose one of their 2
scenarios and share this with the class including what they
will be hopeful for.
DEVELOPMENT

understanding what the theme of
Hope means.

35- 40

Comment [4]: Each activity of the lesson
sequence is aligned with the outcomes and
indicators identified during the lesson
overview. Throughout the introduction I have
been able to assess what students have come to
understand previously, discuss these and then
continue to the learning with application of
new understandings in the development and
reflection in the conclusion.

Communicate their understandings of

what hope is, by highlighting examples
of what it means in relation to a scenario

boxes.
T will highlight that Ss will also be asked to show the class a
tableau of their scenario so that the class may guess what
they are hopeful for. T will note that a Tableau is a still image.
