Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Building on What Others Say: Learners in their mixed-ability groups learn from each other by reflecting on what individuals have said and asking critical questions to build on what others have said. Through this, learners develop their communication and collaboration skills while using gender-responsive language. Example: 5-Whys activity: - Learners in small groups use questions to critically interrogate opinions shared by their peers on stories read/listened to. - Learners then engage in a class discussion, to critically ask questions enabling them to reflect on their peers' responses, in relation to their prior knowledge and previous experiences. - Learners develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they extract and reflect on the meaning of the texts. Learners by this activity enhance their personal and leadership skills. Teaching and Learning Resources: - Audio recordings - Visual aids such as sound charts (i.e. sounds in different colour backgrounds), pictures, props, realia, etc. - Minimal pair aids - Materials such as pictures or books with speech sounds, dictionaries (print/audio) - Audio-visual aids e.g. YouTube videos, television, recording devices (tape recorders, mobile phones), etc. Assessment (3.1.2.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 1 Recall; Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
