Virtual tour of The Louvre, to view the Mona Lisa

Image
Photo by Free Birds on Unsplash If you have students who are interested in art and culture, this is the perfect virtual tour for them! It is suitable for all, as the resources I made are all easily adaptable for all levels. As always, these virtual tours have a strong focus on learner autonomy and group participation and communication. In particular, this session will help the students to develop listening skills in a variety of ways. They will use Total Physical Response (TPR), Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), and collaborative and cooperative learning throughout. To lead in and create interest in the topic, I created a simple Zoom poll to get the group talking about art galleries in their countries. After this, they are asked for their ideas about the location of the virtual tour. I elicited that it was France and that it was The Louvre and one of the students was able to guess the Mona Lisa.  The students then take part in a sensory activity, designed to stimulate the...

De Bono's Six Hats as a tool to respond to texts

Image
Edward de Bono’s Thinking Hats is a tool that is used by individuals and groups, often in business- in industries such as finance, healthcare and manufacturing- for problem solving and brainstorming.

Each hat represents one particular way of thinking (blue = process, green = creative, red = feelings, yellow = benefits, black = cau...

MAPDLE Trainer Development: Training course design

Image
    Photo by  Chris Montgomery  on  Unsplash     The main assignment for my MAPDLE TD module was to design either a PRESET or an INSET  training course of at least fifty hours. It had to include all the details, starting from a needs analysis and ending with a description of how the course would be evaluated and the participants assessed. As well as establishing the learning objectives and learning outcomes for the course, a full outline had to be included, as well as the rationale behind all the decisions made. When I started this MA module, I was relatively new to teacher training, so this assignment seemed very daunting indeed, but in the end, it was my favourite of the three assignments.  In addition to the outline, timings, topics, and resources for each session, I was required to produce my own materials for one of the sessions. I have been working with a small group of teachers, who have been attending my sessions to increase their con...
