Tel Introductory Lesson Plan To The Cba1
This lesson fits into the topic being discussed i.e Plate tectonics as students are completing the
chapter. Introduction to the CBA 1 ‘Geography in the News’ acts as a way of reinforcing
students’ knowledge of the geographical instances which take place as a result of the processes
involved in Plate Tectonics.
Students’ prior knowledge/interests What prior knowledge do student have about this topic
(from class or their everyday lives)?
Students may have a prior knowledge of what a CBA entails from their other subjects if
they have been introduced to Classroom Based Assessment in other subjects.
Students have a prior knowledge of Plate Tectonics.
Students have a prior knowledge of events such as Earthquakes, Volcanoes and
Tsunamis from their studies.
Literacy and Numeracy Note key words/terminology and/or numerical concepts
Numeracy is being engaged as students follow the step-by-step process for successful
completion of the CBA1. It is also being engaged with as the date will be presented on the
PowerPoint slide.
Literacy is being engaged as students encounter content area literacy that is related to the
discipline of geography e.g Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, Processes etc.
3. Assessment How will students’ learning progress be assessed? What are success criteria?
Quizlet Quiz: Students will partake in a matching activity in groups of 5 within breakout
rooms. The groups will be of mixed ability pairings. Higher and lower ability students are being
catered for as a result of these mixed ability pairings. The task will reinforce the knowledge of
higher ability students while higher ability students present complex geographical terms in a
simpler manner than the teacher, aiding the understanding and progression of lower ability
learners.
Question and Answering: This will be carried out throughout the lecture as students are asked
questions based on the CBA1 assignment and on the chapter which the CBA1 is based on.
Modelling of answers will occur as higher ability students are asked to answer questions first
followed by lower ability learners e.g asking a higher ability learner for an example of a
geographical event related to Plate Tectonics. Their answer assists lower ability students to
think of other natural phenomenon’s such as earthquakes. Differentiation will occur here to
further assist students. Higher ability students will be asked questions with less prompting e.g
“Name a geographical phenomenon related to Plate Tectonics”. Lower ability students will be
asked to answer the same question but with greater scaffolding e.g “Name another geographical
phenomenon related to Plate Tectonics which causes the earth to vibrate”.
