The students will arrive and "best fit " themselves to a category. I have intentionally dropped the labels, although this may be a mistake, to keep the start of the lesson as simple as possible for the students.
I have tried to simplify Marzanos language for year 7 students and phrased them as questions to invite self reflection. I will record their preferred
style for future reference and use.Once selected the students will have Metacognitive wrapper for their prefered style. These have been designed to meet the assigned C's of engagement. The basic format of these wrappers are to get the students to think about the content of the lesson and also about a strategy that will facilitate their learning. I have attempted to match these thoughts with their particluar C. I don't think these are perfect yet. Any suggestions to improve them are welcome.
1. Mastery learners who are driven by success and are engaged predominately by Competition and Challenge
2. Interpersonal learners who are driven by relationships and are engaged by Cooperation and Connections.
3. Understanding learners are driven by the need to make sense of things and are engaged by Curiosity and Controversy.
4. Self Expressive learners who are driven by origionality and are engaged by Choice and Creativity.
I will update this post after I have used them with some student reponses, and when I have overcame the Nuthallian problem of what success will look like in this lesson.
