Memorandum

Learners should get the opportunity to express their feelings about going to school. Some of them might be familiar with a school environment, and others not.

  • Discuss their different emotions and help them to identify these.
  • Repeat the discussion after two weeks. This will enable you to determine whether they feel secure and more at ease. Ask questions like “why?”. How does it enable them to cope with an unfamiliar situation? Are they aware of other similar situations?

To some learners, school may be a whole new experience. Others may be more familiar to the school environment, because of pre-school. Whatever the case may be, learners must get used to and manage the changed environment of class and school. They should, for example, take part in class activities, should be able to sit still for a given time and await their turn.

Divide the class into groups of +/- five learners. Each group must think of three important things they can do in class each day to help keep the classroom clean and tidy. With the help of the class, the teacher now writes down the five most important class duties. The learners must take turns to fulfil these duties. (The teacher can draw up a duty list.) Have a class discussion about other people who have tasks and responsibilities at school (for example, the cleaners, the headmaster, the teachers or the prefects.) What will happen if they don’t fulfil these duties? Emphasise the responsibility that each child has in class too, for example, clean up where they have worked (EMS 2.1).

The learners must design their own photo-frame. This can be used on their table in class or at home. Revise the technological process that was explained in module 1. Discuss the different materials they can use. The learners must design, make and evaluate the organiser. (Tech 1.1 - 1.4).

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
