Part 1:
Preparing to Use ICT in Teaching
a.
Aims and Objectives
The
teacher's aim for the sake of this case study is to develop written
communication for pupils working toward GCSE French. In this case
the learners are Year 11 pupils in a mixed gender comprehensive
school. Some of the learners are considering progressing to A
Level and other further qualifications. As we meet the teacher,
she has used a variety of methods of developing written work,
from set briefs with tightly controlled conditions to open projects
giving pupils more latitude to express themselves.
Specifically,
the teacher wants the pupils at this phase of their writing development
to:
- Provide
written opinions on a range of ideas about France.
- Express
themselves clearly and concisely in writing.
- Use
formal and informal registers in their expression in a manner
that is fit for purpose and audience.
The
writing task the teacher has decided to produce is based on the
following scenario on the topic 'The world around us - more opinions'.
Tu as lu dans un journal canadien un article sur la France. L'article
s'appelle 'La France? Pas pour moi!'
Dans
l'article on a dit que:
- La
France n'est pas très intéressante pour les touristes.
- Les
Français sont très impolis.
- Ils
adorent manger les escargots.
Ecris
une lettre (environ 160 mots) à l'éditeur du magazine. Dis-lui
que tu n'es pas d'accord avec l'article. Justifie tes opinions
et raconte tes expériences.
Write a letter of around 160 words replying to an article you
have read in a magazine.
Questions
for Consideration
- How
do you currently deal with this area of work in the classroom?
- Do
you use any ICT based methods to develop this form of writing
skill, and how do you manage use of these?
Keep
a short record of your responses to these questions for discussion
with your mentor.
