The G10 are nearly finished with Macbeth. Their learning continues to be scaffolded and extended with students completing writing tasks that have them interpreting quotes from the play by writing the context, and then thinking about the inferences/implications of the quote. The next activity saw them going one step further and looking at quote: rewrite or interpret: characterization:: motif evident within the quotes. The students have been involved in constant reading and writing throughout the past several weeks, becoming familiar with the structure and language of the play, and meaning-making.
Once the class had finished, my mentor and I continued our talking, with discussion turning to assessment, and the differences between assessment in the MYP & DP IB programmes, and also in comparison to non IB schools.We also talked about the need for differentiation and the importance of tracking those kids who will finish early and will need to be extended further in their thinking and work. I love our talks!
