Today, I sat in on a Grade 10 English class. I explained that I had also returned to the study books and gave the background as to why I am studying Secondary English...and that my whole purpose was for a change to watch the teacher not the students.
Grade 10 are studying Macbeth. It is perhaps the only Shakespearean tragedy I have not read. The class were still involved with reading the play. Students nominated themselves to read aloud different parts. Alot more scaffolding by the teacher compared with the Grade 11 class...elaboration upon text - meaning and context, more directed questioning regarding the play. Love the teacher's sense of humour...as did the kids!
