Hey guys,

Had fun today - Team 4 rox

What has been the most interesting idea?**
 * After today, the first day,

I have really enjoyed beginning to look at using the tools in the unit Joe and I brought with us. I am also really excited about putting our unit into the proforma that has been supplied - it seems that it will make our job much easier later on.

In the same vein, looking at that planning document was very daunting.
 * What has been the most challenging thing you have thought about?**

I think one of the good things about the planning documents is that it comprehensively outlines the step that you need to consider when creating a unit of work. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the plan that you and Joe come up with. - Anne

right now i feel tired but pretty enthusiastic about the whole thing
 * How do you feel? **


 * Anything else?

nah - looking forward to tomorrow. :)**

DAY 2:

Had a good day, this is the part that I was really looking forward to. It has let Joe and I spend some quality time consolidating the planning for our unit and put in some good thinking into our teaching. We were also able to think about using the ranking tool when we get back to school in our role as master trainers to address some school based issues.

please disregard these versions, the updated one is at the bottom.

DAY 3:

On a personal level I am really enthusiastic about how this unit is progressing. On a master trainer level i am still nervous about being able to do the unit justice when I go back to school.

Thankyou to Lainey and Rachel who brought the ideas about torch testing and the 3 types of investigation/question (see my note below)

INVESTIGATE TORCH TESTING METHOD (similar to on demand but uses cloze activities)

While there hasn't been the opportunity to demonstrate it again today - it is still clear that team 4 (rachel and doug) is easily the BEST!

Just a thought, is there any chance we could get some more coffee - I'm struggling without it :)

Here is the updated version of Joe and my unit plan

DAY 4

Think that I am on top of this unit plan....I hope...

I have found this a really valuable experience in terms of networking and gaining little tidbits of skills outside of the course outline. Thanks to Wayne, Rachael and Lainey for all the bits and pieces we have been able to discuss and show each other.

HERE IT IS - THE FINAL VERSION (so far)......



Was good to see a staff member using the ranking tool in a class off her own bat after we mentioned the different things it could do!!!!
