Assessment Task: The selection of resources and design of teaching and learning activities

Assessment task link to unit learning outcomes:

• set clear, challenging and achievable goals for students in their learning of legal and related studies
• research and design innovative teaching and learning procedures to engage and motivate the diverse range of learners in every classroom
• demonstrate a capacity to draw on a range of teaching approaches, including the use of information and communications technologies, in ways that align with pedagogical intentions
• employ accountable and theoretically grounded processes to monitor student learning and progress
• critically evaluate their practicum experiences of teaching legal studies and law-related studies in schools and other settings.

Your task is to develop two 60-minute lesson plans, in sequence, using the lesson plan template provided on Moodle. The first lesson should introduce an idea or concept, and the second lesson should seek to follow-up on / consolidate student learning by requiring students to apply their understanding.

Together, the two lesson plans should include a range of at least three resources accompanied by fully developed teaching and learning activities that are appropriate to this topic.

Resources are the various items that shape an effective lesson. They enhance your teaching and support students learning. Good examples of resources include:

Newspaper article

VCTA Compak articles

Media clips sourced from VEA / Clickview / youtube.com / tv / movies

Cartoons

Websites

Textbooks

Teaching and learning activities make explicit what you and students will do with the chosen resources - i.e., they articulate the pedagogical approach to be taken. Specific instructions may be written as handouts and should be attached as appendices. Good examples include:

Brainstorming activity (T/P/S prompt)

Set of case study questions

Topic and rules of engagement for a debate

Puzzles (word-finders, crosswords, etc.)

Problem to consider and/or solve

Show and tell task (reporting a personal experience or observation)

Structured questions completed in teams (cooperative learning - perhaps with a competitive element)

Worksheets

Internet research activities / WebQuests

Word matching exercises

Quick quiz (T/F, multi-guess)

Word count/equivalent: 2000 words (equivalent)

Please submit one Word file.
