Period 1/2 : A'level Media Critical Research Mock
Students sitting mock exam x 2 Hours. No Grant or Aaron. I will need to chase these students next week as sitting this mock is crucial to my assessment of their potential performance in the real exam in two weeks.
Period 3: GCSE Year 10 Media
The usual suspects once again behaved in a manner that was wholly inappropriate and disrupted the learning of others. Mr Abiona is phoning home to negotiate meetings with parents next week.
Students finished working on their mind-maps exploring music genres and the music industry and started the process of developing a set of questions that would form their audience research.
Homework: To create and distribute a questionnaire to ten people about their music tastes and habits. Results from research to be drawn-up in their sketch books by next FRIDAY.
LUNCH: Business Enterprise Meeting with Dave Mitchell. Only Callum and Sam attended and Dave was rather frustrated. He expressed his concerns and requested a meeting with all students on Tuesday at 3.00pm. I MUST GIVE A NOTICE IN ASSEMBLY ON MONDAY AND GET A NOTICE UP TO STUDENTS IN COMMON ROOM.
Period 5: Support in Science with Mr Shode
I used this patrol time to visit Mr Shode in Science and to monitor his implementation of my ideas we explored at the outset of the week. The lesson was chaotic and would have been given an OFSTED Level 1 as no learning was evident. The issues that appear to be dominating Mr Shode's practise are: behaviour management; pace; voice and presence. I suggested to G Gill that one possible strategy could be to move the class to my room next Friday and for me to negotiate access to the ICT room. I will do my best to support here but the class is deeply disaffected and a great deal of intervention required to aid learning.
