Introduction

Our microteaching is addressed to Year 6 students of Primary Education, taking into account that not all of them have the same educational needs. For this purpose, diversity awareness has been taken into account along this microteaching, including both an ADHD student and a dyslexic student.

We are aware of the fact that storytelling becomes a useful tool, especially when teaching English to Early Years students. Although it is true that storytelling is used in Primary Education as well, we detected that it becomes less used as students grow up. Consequently, we can rarely see teachers using storytelling with Year 6 students, as this tool is generally associated with Very Young learners. Taking these precedents into account, we considered necessary to break these stereotypes by creating a microteaching that used storytelling as the common thread in order to teach the intended English structures and vocabulary to Year 6 students of Primary Education.

To do so, we did not only choose a story that would fit these students’ likes and interests, but we also developed the four sessions of this microteaching in a way in which both their creativity and communication in English were promoted. Therefore, students’ active role is fostered from the very beginning through dynamic activities that let the children learn in a meaningful way and enjoy the process of learning English. We have guaranteed that the four language skills are worked: listening, reading, speaking and writing.

To finish with, we are also aware of the importance of promoting the students’ digital competence from an early age. For this purpose, ICT is integrated in our sessions so that they become really useful and meaningful to students. In addition, we also considered this fact appropriate in order to transmit to our students how important it is not to spend paper and take care of our planet.

Diversity awareness

This microteaching follows the principles of inclusion from the UDL (Universal Design for Learning) and the Decree 150/2017, which states the need to adapt the teaching and learning process so as to attend to the students’ diversity, offer the same learning opportunities and guarantee the achievement of the basic curricular objectives and contents. In this case, it is necessary to highlight that the group has a huge variety of learning levels and rhythms, so this project includes universal measures, that is, measures that are aimed at all the children.

First of all, in some sessions the children work in heterogeneous groups so that everyone can participate and is included in the educational process regardless of their learning rhythm and level.

By using this social organisation, the students learn to cooperate, to have initiative and to interact with their peers successfully. Furthermore, as they will establish different roles in the group, all the children are motivated, maintain the concentration and have a big implication in the development of the task while helping the others. Secondly, throughout the project the teacher takes into consideration the transition of the activities and explains them beforehand so that all the students know what they will do afterwards, and they are prepared for the exercise, especially the child with ADHD. This way, the teacher makes sure that everyone understands the task and the students can start working autonomously. This is really useful for the child with ADHD because he/she can work on his/her self-management and self-control.

Thirdly, the activities of the microteaching are thought to be short and interactive in order to make the activities more fun and to keep the students’ motivation towards the tasks. This universal

1

measure is essential for the children with dyslexia or ADHD because they are able to maintain their attention and do the exercises to achieve the same educational goals as the rest of the classmates. Fourthly, the students that are struggling in English have visual resources with the language structures and vocabulary so that they can practise and use them when necessary and do the task successfully. This is really useful for the child with dyslexia because he/she will be able to do the reading and writing activities more easily and fluently, but these supports will be withdrawn progressively so that the students are capable of using the language structures and vocabulary on their own.

Finally, this microteaching is based on an assessment of, as and for learning (which is explained in the assessment section in more detail) so that the teacher can value the work done by the students during the process, observe their strengths and areas of improvement and provide them feedback to improve their learning process. Consequently, by using this feedback the teacher takes into account the personal characteristics of each child and personalises their learning so as to guarantee more attention and quality education. Moreover, it has to be mentioned that the child with dyslexia and the child with ADHD have other assessment criteria and instruments adjusted to their needs so that these students can achieve the objectives contemplated and the teacher can assess them properly.

ASSESSMENT

The assessment of this didactic sequence is structured in three main blocks: • Assessment for learning, which aims to track the students’ process and give them feedback throughout the sequence. This is done throughout all lessons.

• Assessment as learning, which aims to encourage the children to reflect on and monitor their progress. This is done in the form of peer assessment in lesson 3 and self-assessment in lesson 4.

• Assessment of learning, which aims to value the achievement of the learning outcomes at the end of the unit considering the learning evidences gathered throughout the process. This is done at the end of the sequence, after finishing lesson 4.

Therefore, the assessment has been structured in the following way with the respective instruments: • Session 1: The aim of this session’s assessment is to understand the students’ prior knowledge and initial statement. Therefore, we use a general observation grid to collect general ideas of the students’ starting points, needs and expectations. Getting feedback from them directly, as well as observing how they react to the activities and manage to overcome them, will help us adapt the microteaching sequence. In addition, we use the session 1 scale, an instrument that contains the assessment criteria for this session, with the aim to help the teacher check on the attainment of this session’s learning outcomes, give adequate feedback and provide the adequate scaffolding to our students.

Session 2: The aim of assessment in this session is to track the students’ progress throughout the unit to provide them with adequate feedback and support.

Consequently, we use the session 2 scale with the corresponding assessment criteria so as to check on the degree of attainment of this session’s learning outcomes.

Session 3: Similarly to session 2, the objective of this lesson’s assessment is to keep track of the students’ progress in the unit, so we have designed the session 3 scale. Moreover, since students are reading each other’s letters and working from them, we aim to encourage peer assessment. In order to support them in the peer feedback exchange process, we have included some questions in the peer assessment guide, to be shown on the digital board.

Session 4: The aim of the assessment in this session is to determine the degree of attainment of the learning outcomes at the end of the unit, considering and valuing the evidences from the process. As a consequence, we aim to use the final assessment rubric. Furthermore, we have planned a self-assessment closure activity with some questions to encourage students’ reflection and feedforward.

Description Introduction. First, students will play a game to warm up and to review the vocabulary related to colours. This vocabulary is not new to the students, so we do not need to teach it. Instead, we chose a memory game where this vocabulary has to be used in context. The teacher will show the students a sequence of colours, they will have to retain the information and then repeat it, remembering the exact order. This will get progressively harder. To make the game more challenging, students will be shown some colours in a specific order in a grid, and then will be asked for the colour of a specific position.

Development. With this activity, we aim to introduce the structures from the story that the characters (that is, the crayons) use to complain in their letters. Each group of three will be given a funny scene, like a meme or a comic strip, where one of these structures are used. They will be asked to read it and understand what is happening, using the image for context. Then, they will represent it in front of the class and share the meaning behind the situation. Finally, they will identify similarities between words and structures, deduce the complaint structures and write them down on a poster with the memes.

Development. At this point, we will introduce the story. We will show students the cover and ask them to read the title. At the same time, we will ask some questions for them to make hypotheses about the content of the book –they are used to this process, so they are familiar with the language structures. Then, we will only read the beginning of the book, because we have adapted the rest. Therefore, then we will bring out the four letters and ask the students to choose one to start. As we are reading, we will ask questions to check on reading comprehension, such as “how is the blue crayon?”, “what happened to the pink crayon?” and “how is Duncan?”. We will continue doing the same process until we have read all four letters and make a conclusion at the end.

Conclusion. Finally, we will play a game to conclude the lesson, based on the storybook. Students will gather in groups of three to play the game Stop!

Introduction: At the beginning of the session, the teacher and the students will revise the parts of the body by playing a game. In this activity, they will have to make a circle and the teacher will tell them that they have to touch the person on their right with a specific part of their body. If someone makes a mistake or is not capable of doing it he/she is eliminated and the last person remaining is the winner.

Development: Finally, the teacher will put the students in pairs. Once done, each one will become a body part of their peer and they will have to write a complaint letter in which this body part warns the student that if it is not treated better it will leave his/her body. In order to write this letter (which, in fact, will be an e-mail), the students will have to use the grammar structures and vocabulary worked before and in case the child does not know the translation of a specific word he/she will be able to use online resources so as to solve it (dictionaries, webpages…).

Introduction: At the beginning of the session, the teacher will Whole do a short recapitulation of what they have done until now. group What is more, they will do a peer-assessment activity that will consist on the following: the students will gather up in pairs (the ones they have sent the letter to) in order to answer some questions such as: • Did you like it? Why? • Is it well written?

• Is it easy to understand?

Language structures: - I liked it/didn’t like it because…

- It was well/bad written because…

- It was easy/difficult to understand because...

Development: Then, she will ask the students to gather up in small groups of three people each. It has to be noted that each group will have one computer, since they sent the complaint letter via email. The objective of this first activity will be for the students to read the letter they wrote to one of their peers’ body part. Once they have read them all, they will have to choose the one they have liked the most in order to represent it in a short roleplay performance.

Introduction: The students will sit down on the floor creating a circle all together and a debate will be carried out among them, and also among the students and the teacher. To do so, the teacher will guide the students with questions such as: Can we help the different parts of our bodies? or What can we do with this situation? This way, the students will be aware of the problem and will try to find a solution to it. In the end, they will decide (with the guidance of the teacher if necessary) to change the situation by writing letters to ask for forgiveness.

40’

Development: The teacher will show the students a template Whole that will consist of two pages: on the first one, a model letter group + will be included. This letter will be very visual and, through it, Individually students will clearly see the structure that this type of letter follows. On the second page, each of the sections of this letter will be explained in more detail by adding questions and examples that will help the students understand this type of letter better. Moreover, through these questions it will be ensured that students are not missing any necessary information to add. Consequently, students will know which useful structures they will need to use when writing the emails.
