Into the Book 1. Being Different Ask students to talk about how they react when they see something or someone that is unusual or different. Read books that are about unusual people (see resource list). Talk about ways in which these books present a character who is different and eccentric, but very lovable. Ask students if they know anyone like the characters in the books. Encourage them to describe the characteristics of this person. How do they feel when they are with the person? What makes this person lovable? (HOTs tool)

Listening / Singing Listen to the song Flowers are Red by Harry Chapin This song tells of a young boy who went to school ready to paint flowers all the colours of the rainbow, but his teacher said that ' Flowers are red, young man and green leaves are green. There's no need to see flowers any other way than the way they always have been seen.'

Ask students to talk about the kind of teacher Mr Barraclough is. Show the pages that feature Mr Barraclough. Point out that he is usually depicted in dull colours with cross hatching rather than solid colour. (Crosshatching is shading with parallel lines). Highlight that only in the last image does Mr Barraclough have solid colour. Encourage them to talk about why the artist might have done this and how it makes the reader see the teacher. Give each student a copy of BLM4. Tell students that in the beginning of the story Mr Barraclough shouts at Luke, but when Mr Barraclough looks at Luke's painting of the watermelon he does not say anything. Encourage students to speculate as to what he might be thinking.

Reread the story and find the words that have to do with talking (told, yelled, said, screamed, shouted, groaned).(HOTs tool) Have students draw a portrait of the character associated with these words. Highlight that Luke doesn't speak, except to promise that he will tell the other boys where he has been. Remind students, however, that Luke does use his imagination, wonders, goes sightseeing and hears the bell ringing. Give students a copy of BLM6 and collaboratively work through matching verbs to characters in the story. Beyond the Book 1. Luke's Explanation Remind students that Luke promised to tell later where he had been. Encourage students to think of the questions that they would ask Luke about what he saw and what he did on that Friday morning. Put students into groups of 6-8 to enact this moment. One person will need to be Luke and the others should look closely at the illustration on pages 25/26 and decide who they will play. Have each character select an appropriate name and then set up the improvisation. Decide where the incident is taking place e.g. in the classroom, in the playground or on the bus. Have other students watch the enactment and discuss the reactions

WHAT WHEN HOW

The Affinity Diagram is an interactive data collection method, which enables the identification and sorting of large quantities of ideas within a short time frame. Affinity means likeness or close relationship.

The Affinity is used when a non-judgemental process is required for gathering and categorizing ideas

1. Clearly define and write the topic for the session at the top of the flip chart. WHAT MAKES SYDNEY A GREAT CITY? 2. All team members individually brainstorm ideas relating to the stated question or topic. As brainstorming takes place, individuals silently write each idea on a sticky note or note card and place it in front of them. Place only one idea on each slip of paper/card. 3. Team members randomly place ideas on the topic flip chart or stick them on a smooth surface such as a mirror or a white board

BONE DIAGRAM
George Noyes from the Defence Systems Management College Fort Belvoir Virginia designed the Bone Diagram. A Bone Diagram allows us to reflect on our current situation as well as plan or visualise a future or desired situation. The Bone Diagram is a helpful tool in developing a big picture or future concept whilst providing a mechanism to assist teams or groups in moving from where they are currently situated towards achieving that big picture or desired situation.

WHY HOW

The tool encourages inclusively and creativity, provides a great opportunity for reflection and allows for clarity in planning

DRIVING FORCES

How does it work? 1. Draw a large bone or shapes representing a bone onto a whiteboard or paper 2. Brainstorm ideas which represent the current situation in the lower section of the bone 3. Have the group brainstorm ideas that they identify as a desired situation or the picture they would like to see happening in the upper section of the bone 4. Identify the positive forces that will help the growth of the bigger picture and place on the upper left side of the bone 5. In the lower right section identify and list the forces, which will inhibit growth of the future or big picture. 6. Prioritise the negative forces using a ranking or voting system. 7.

CLUSTER DIAGRAMS
Cluster diagrams (also called cloud diagrams) are a type of non-linear graphic organiser that can help to systematize the generation of ideas based upon a central topic.

WHAT WHEN HOW

Using this type of diagram, the student can more easily brainstorm a theme, associate about an idea, or explore a new subject.

The cluster diagram can be generated electronically or manually, sorting research and organising topics and sub-topics.

FIVE WHYS

WHAT WHEN PROCESS

Five Whys

At any time to promote deep thinking through questioning

To employ a "Five Whys a question, problem or issue is asked. This is answered by asking "why ?". The answer then becomes the question and 'why' is then asked again The process is repeated five times with the final answer providing a deeper example of student thinking. Example: Q. Why am I returning to Year 11? A. Because I would like to attain my Higher School Certificate. Q Why do I want to receive my Higher School Certificate? A. Because I would like to study Art at the University? Q. Why would I like to study Art at the University? A. Because it it will allow me to gain employment in an area I am particularly interested in. Q. Why is important to gain employment in an area I am interested in? A. This will enable me to have job and personal satisfaction Q. Why is important for me to have job and personal satisfaction? A.

FORCE FIELD ANALYSIS


Force field analysis is an influential development in the field of social science. It provides a framework for looking at the factors (forces) that influence a situation, originally social situations. It looks at forces that are either driving movement toward a goal (helping forces) or blocking movement toward a goal (hindering forces).

VENN DIAGRAM

WHAT WHEN PROCESS

Venn Diagram

To visually compare and contrast similarities and differences.

Draw two overlapping circles. Each Circle will represent one subject.

2. Students write the unique characteristics of that subject into the identified circle 3. Common characteristics are placed in the overlapping sections of the circles Variation Venn Diagrams can be made more complex by drawing three or more overlapping circles The number of circles drawn will depend on the number of subjects or ideas to be contrasted.

SAMPLE USES

Venn Diagrams can be used to compare and contrast almost anything, eg to examine or analyse events, religions, politics, characters, environments and stories.

JIGSAW
The Jigsaw strategy encourages the development of specific skills within individual team members.

WHAT WHY

Originally developed by Eliot Aronson, it is perhaps one of the most effective cooperative strategies for promoting responsibility within each of the students in the team.

Board of Studies NSW Program Builder pb.bos.nsw.edu.au


Program Builder contains NSW syllabus content prepared by the Board of Studies NSW for and on behalf of the State of New South Wales which is protected by Crown copyright. 9

Basic Jigsaw:

HOW

1. Break into teams of four, and number the members from 1 to 4. 2. Present a mini-project to each team, such as a study of the local community. 3. Assign specific tasks to each member, such as: No.1: Collect all available brochures from the local council. No.2: Research any information available in the school library. No.3: Construct a large map of the local area. No.4: Compile a list of goods and services available in the local area. 4. Each of the members then is required to complete their specific task. 5. The team reforms, and the students share their information with each other. This information then can be collated, and the project can be completed. The most difficult aspect of this strategy will involve the formulation of the specific tasks. It sometimes can also be worthwhile to assign tasks to the students according to the level of difficulty, and the interests of the different students. Extra students could be asked to share a role with someone else in a team. This means that there could be two No.1s in the team, who could work together on the particular task. VARIATIONS One of the most effective variations is known as Expert Jigsaw and it employs the use of Home Teams and Expert Teams. To implement this structure: 1. Form students into Home Teams of four members, and number them from 1 to 4. 2. Introduce the project or activity to the Home Teams eg Design a future home. 3. The specific functions of the Expert Teams are then outlined in the following fashion: Expert Team 1: Basic design layout of the future home. Expert Team 2: The furniture. Expert Team 3: The entertainment facilities. Expert Team 4: The food preparation process. 4. The Home Teams are then reformed into Expert Teams, which means that all of the Home Team No.1s move to Expert Team No.1, Home TeamNo.2s into Expert Team No.2, and so on. 5. The Expert Teams then research their specialized area, and develop a range of ideas. 6. Expert Teams then split up, and all members return to their original Home Team. At this stage, there then will be an expert on each of the areas, such as furniture, within each of the Home Teams.
