media type="custom" key="4729847" Lesson focus ** The focus of this lesson is to now get the students ready to present all the information learned from the unit in a variety of ways to the school community. Lesson objective ** The objective of this lesson is for the students to be confident in presenting all the information they have put together to the school community. Using a literacy rotation, the students will have all put together information in a variety of ways and will all be able to present the information to people outside our classroom confidently. Teacher and learner activities ** Teacher ** With the students on the floor ask them what ways we could present all of the information we have learnt to the school. Turn the students around to show them the literacy rotation board. The higher level preps will be working with either the teacher or an aid and will be developing an information report about being sun smart and sun safe which will be put in the school newsletter. The second level preps will be creating posters on the computer using information from the information booklets they had created earlier in the unit to be displayed in the school corridors. The two lower level groups will be working with an aid or the teacher and will be writing sun smart words on cardboard to be displayed around our classroom. ·  Being creative is key here, as the students will be wanting to do they’re best work therefore ensure that you promote the fact that they will be on display to the whole school and we want to teach our peers how to be Sun smart. Students ** The students will be responding to questions set by the teacher then will break off into their literacy groups and begin the set tasks. Students working on the information report will be seeking ways in which we can get our message across to the school community in an effective way by re capping on what they have learnt and what they think will help people become more sun smart. Students working in the second level group will be analyzing the information booklets they had already created and use the information attained to create posters about how to be sun smart, what we have learnt and what you can do to be sun smart. Students working in the third group will be looking at Key sun smart words they can be displayed around the room so that you remember to Slip, Slop, Seek, Slide and Slap. Teacher ** Once the students have completed the activity, get each group to present what they have done to the rest of the class during ‘ share time’ this will ensure that all the students know what each other have been doing this will also aid there learning. After this has been completed, display the posters around the school, submit the information report into the newsletter and display the key words around the room. Book in for an assembly item and have the students present the sun smart song to the school as an alternative way to get the sun smart message across. Finally, purchase a tree and get the preps to select a spot on the school grounds to plant the tree and explain that by planting this tree we are ensuring that the future grade preps will be able to ‘seek some shade’ in the playground.
