3. Pair work

3.3. Reflecting on pair work

Pair work activities can last just five or ten minutes or take up most of the lesson. Think about the pair work activities that you have tried.

Activity 1.11: Planning a pair work activity

Think
On your own, think about the activity you tried. What was the purpose of the activity? What did you want the children to learn? What did they learn and how do you know? Write your ideas in your Teacher Notebook.

Pair
Share your thoughts with your partner. Add any further reflections to your original ideas.

Share
In a group of three or four, explain your activities and how you organised them to each other. Say what went well and what you would change next time.

Finally
Plan another pair work activity. Make sure you try it next week and reflect on how it goes.
