The present
•Why doesn’t the boy want to go outside at the
beginning of the story? Discuss your ideas with a
partner.
•Pause the video at different points (e.g. 0.09, 0.44,
1.05, 2.40 and 3.10) and describe how each character is
feeling. How do you know?
•What does it mean to be disabled? What types of
disabilities are there, and how do they affect different
people?
What’s wrong with the teacher?
‘Write a short story about this teacher.”
What is classroom management?
Use motivational words, positive words to praise good work and behaviour.
(great idea, good job, fantastic …..etc.)
Use actions to praise students ( high five – clap your hands up to 10)
Use attention-getters (teacher: 1,2,3 eyes on me. Students: 1,2, eyes on you)
( teacher: hands up. Students: everybody stop)
(1 clap -2 clap) (don’t clap this one back)
Decorate the classroom with students’ work and projects whenever possible.
Set rules, boundaries and expectations.
• Raise your hand to speak. • Ask for help when you need it
• Only one person speaks at a time. • Do your own work
• Ask for permission before you leave • Respect your friends and teachers
the classroom. • Respect the property of others.
• Keep your hands for yourself (don’t
fight)
