Using Blooms Taxonomy:

Remembering (character quiz)understanding (why impt)applying (explicit teaching)
analysing(think about our characters and settings.)Evaluating (thinking about why Romeo is or isnt
flat)Creating (using the hotseat exercise)
Acknowledgement of Gardiners multiple intelligences , i.e. using individual voices, everyone sounds
different, okay to sound like you, try speaking through etc. Encouragement to use own voices and adapt.
Some explicit teaching/demonstrations; q&a with connectionist-style learning. Perhaps emphasis on shared
socio-cultural issues with R&J to help with getting inside a character/flat v. round.

Behaviour Management

Setting Focus

Behaviour mgmt: mostly well-behaved, calls to focus. Acknowledgment of noise then moving on. In
individual/small group feedback periods, using gestures. Be aware during practical activities when to rein in
with written work. Emphasise that we can only do the fun exercises if the class behaves, otherwise we can do
all written work. If students get everything done, we can watch the movie.
Letting everyone into the room, letting them get settled. List activities were going to be doing informally.
