This unit explores how you might build the habit of Making Links in your students.
Sections 1 – 4 look at;
- Making Links and how it develops. Unpick the meaning of Making Links, how it develops over time and use the Making Links chart to plot where your students are now.
- Taking Making Links into classroom culture. Offers numerous suggestions to develop a questioning friendly culture and build students’ Making Links skills.
- Blending Making Links with content. Suggests a series of questions and steps you might use to ensure the development of Making Links 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: Making Links 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 more than an hour 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 through. Section 3 needs at least a 35 minutes hard thinking. 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.
