5. Application

Activity 5


Using the notes and ideas that you began to gather during the tutorial, complete steps 1-5. 

1. Try out your planned activity/lesson with your learners. 

2. Gather some feedback from your learners about the lesson/activity as well, which you can bring to the course and share with your fellow students.

3. Write an account of 250 to 300 words, highlighting the successes and challenges you encountered when applying what you have learned in terms of pedagogy and Scots language. It may be helpful to consider these questions: 

  • What do you think worked particularly well in your classroom application? 
  • Is there anything you would do differently if you were to repeat this lesson?  
  • What are the next steps for your learners? 
  • How will you provide further opportunities to practise and reinforce the use and awareness of the Scots language? 

4. Then post your reflective account in the Course Forum. 

5. Read and comment constructively on an application task post by at least one other colleague.
