This unit explores how you might build the habit of Imagining in your students.
Sections 1 – 4 look at;
- Imagining and how it develops. The Imagining Chart. Unpick the meaning of Imagining, how it develops over time and use the Imagining chart to plot where your students are now.
- Taking Imagining into classroom culture. Activities for Imagining. Offers numerous suggestions to develop an Imagining friendly culture and build students’ Imagining skills.
- Blending Imagining with content. Dual Focused Lesson ideas. Suggests a series of questions and steps you might use to ensure the development of Imagining claims its place in the curriculum and is designed into lesson/activities to aid understanding.
- Team reflection and planning. Share the impact of your experiments with colleagues and plan what you need to do next.
The resource materials in the Learning Diary: Imagining help you to distil important messages, home in on the key bits of information and design learning experiments specifically for you.
You will probably need to spend 75 mins on sections 1-3. Section 1 may take about 20 minutes to get your head round. Section 2 should take you about 20 minutes to browse. Section 3 needs at least a 30 minutes of hard thinking and head scratching. Section 4 is a linked Professional Learning Team session which will have been organised to take place sometime after this on-line session, and should take about 75 minutes.
