Alexander,

• Further inclusion of cognitive verbs in your lessons plans, particularly in your lesson objectives and
rational, would have strengthened your lesson plans.

• Opening activity in Lesson Plan #1 would have been more suitable if students could answer questions
correctly to foster ‘student by-in’ and engagement – you don’t want students disengaged from the start
because they got questions wrong at the beginning of the lesson.

• Your overview and context communicated all of the relevant information about the school’s context.

• There was little evidence of differentiation techniques throughout the lesson sequence despite attempts at
varied activity lengths to support student with ADHD – A Year 7 boy with suspected ADHD would struggle
with engage with any activity, especially individual reading or research, for 20-25 minutes.

• Your submission appropriately integrated ICT based learning and resources.
