The first T&L breakfast morning of 2020 focused on the effective use of placemats within lessons. Ms. Kinsella and Ms. O'Sullivan demonstrated a variety of ways that placemats can be used in different ways depending on the subject and outcome you would like the students to achieve. Layering different strategies such as combining ranking ladders and brainstorms into the placemats were also outlined as extensions to this classroom staple.
Our teachers got involved by firstly brainstorming their topic in groups, they then had to combine their ideas and come to an agreement on how their ideas should be ranked on a scale of 1-3. Randomisers were then used to provide feedback to the group.
Thanks to all who participated to kick off T&L for 2020!
