Online scenario used as an English resource
Feedback
Kenny is pleased with the positive reaction the pupils had to the scenario, and that they managed to navigate around and work at their own pace.
This was the first time that Caroline, the English teacher, had used the scenario with a class. She says it is particularly helpful that pupils can work at their own pace. In a normal class she might set an exercise to be done in 10 minutes and inevitably some pupils finish early and others do not complete it.
Caroline thinks that the scenario is particularly suited to lower ability pupils who do not concentrate so well and who benefit from visual input. She noticed that one boy in her class, who normally has motivational problems, really enjoyed the lesson and was engaged from the start. She says the pictures in the scenario - of the boy Buddy and Buddy Holly, for example - help to bring the novel to life.
