Working with Su Arrowsmith on learning how to break down the aspects and sets on the PACT tool. was a really informative workshop that got us preparing a mini lesson plan for reading.

Focus on WALT's and Success criteria.  and explanation as to why we are doing what we are doing. We also addressed having questions prepared prior to lessons. 

Example:

Learning Intention: Kei te ako matou ki te….

Why? TIB it helps us to understand what a text is about and to quickly see if it has the information we need to find for research or for pleasure, or to find exactly where the information is, saving us time when reading. 

Success criteria: WILF

1. I can find sentences or words that talk about things:

1. in the past

2. In the present

3. In the future

2. I can find dates that help me to work out when things happened

3. I can place events in the correct order

TASKS:

1. Round Robin  - words that give us clues to things happening in the past; present; future

2. Pairs - read and highlight 

3. Reciprocal reading (a - dates, b - past words, c - present words, d - future words)

4. Timeline (draw pics/ dates and words/ poem)

5. Individual practise

6. Peer assessment and feedback

Tulevai and the sea

Which things do you know will be happening in the future and how do you know this?

On page 4 what word tells you that the sea wants to do something to Tulevai in the future?

On page 12 how many words are there that show things happening in the past?

Reflection: PACT is a really useful tool to make OTJs. It is also helpful to ensure that you are looking at all aspects of a curriculum area when making OTJs and therefore ensure that you teach those specific aspects throughout the year.
