Explore Teaching Approaches
Now that you have your unit's purpose and outcomes defined, it's time to explore the how, with strategies and approaches that bring your unit to life. This is where your teaching expertise shines.
Whether you already have a teaching approach in mind or you're starting from scratch, AI can help surface options that work for your context.
Already have strategy ideas?
Ask AI to:
- critique your approach
- suggest alternatives
- recommend enhancements
Exploring possibilities?
Ask AI to recommend strategies that align with your focus.
| Focus | Possible Strategies |
|---|---|
| Collaboration | Jigsaw, peer review, gallery walks |
| Accessibility | UDL tasks, choice boards, scaffolded supports |
| Explicit teaching | Gradual release, modelled writing, worked examples |
| Inquiry | Question prompts, curiosity journals, student investigations |
Suggest 3 teaching approaches for a Stage 2 unit on hybrid genres that builds towards a creative nonfiction portfolio.
Let's brainstorm teaching approaches for Stage 2 English. The focus is on hybrid genres; writing that blends informative and imaginative elements. Help me explore possibilities by:
- identifying the key skills students need to develop for this kind of writing.
- suggesting a range of teaching approaches that would effectively build these skills.
- recommending specific activities or learning experiences that engage students with hybrid genres.
- exploring ways to scaffold student learning from analysis to creation.
Give me options to consider, step by step. I want to see what's possible before I decide on my approach.
Ask AI to explain how any unfamiliar concepts work. Always nice to add to your teacher toolkit.
