11. Lesson Objectives – How to write them and how to check that they move learners from A to B.

12. The way we are teaching has changed to become more learning focused so our objectives need to match this style.
The emphasis has shifted from Teaching Objectives (which describe what teachers do and the content delivered in the classroom) to Learning Objectives (which describe what learners can do as a result of the teaching)
The language used when writing objectives should describe how we want our learners to learn as well as what they should know and understand. (Knowledge, Understanding, Skill)
Justifying WHY we are learning is important for motivation as well as giving them the wider picture of what it links to.

3. Activating Learning
Teacher presents a powerpoint explaining the colourwheel and how to mix colours to the rest of the class.
Q&A – during the presentation the teacher asks probing questions to find out the students prior knowledge on colour

5. Apply to demonstrate
Teacher brings the class back together as a whole and asks them to look at the questions on the board. The students are not to discuss it but to raise their hand if they think they can answer the questions. Those that can’t are given a few minutes to find out by using their paint palette.
Teacher asks students to answer the questions and fill in the missing gaps.
Students stop and listen. They look at the questions on the board and put their hands up if they can answer the questions. Those that can’t are given 2 minutes to find out the answer by using their colours.
Students offer their answers and say how they found out. Either from the power point or painting their own work.
