How does teacher scaffold learning and expectations
Teacher is working with group and she is talking to them about the WALT which is WALT: use personification in my writing. The teacher has a sentence in front of them and reads it out. She first asks what the non-human thing is in the sentence. Then asks what verb makes it have a human characteristic. Then they talk about changing the verb and adjective to change the mood of the writing. There is talk around what the human characteristic looks like on the non-human object. They have worked on this before because the teacher allows for sharing on past writing.
The expectation is set as the children know they will have to share during their teaching time. There is alot of talk around what a personification is and what they mean in different contexts. The scaffolding happens as the teacher explicitly tells the group what a personification is and allows the children to discuss what they think a personification is. They look at examples and understanding is built on what the children know and understand.
What I will try in my class is the ability to allow the children to share their work that is in line with their WALT. As a group we can assess if it makes sense or not.
