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 Spanish. 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 Spain.
- 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".
Has leido un artículo en una revista mejicana. El artículo se
tituló "¿ La España? No es para mí."
En el artículo se pone:
- La
España no es muy interesante para los turistas.
- Los
Españoles no son muy amables.
- Los
Españoles son crueles con los animales.
Escribe
una carta breve (160 palabras más o menos). No estás de acuerdo
con el artículo. Explica tus objecciones y cuenta tus experiencias
personales.
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.
