    Assignment 2 Module 2 (Teachers Toolbox)


    Due Date: 5pm, Friday April 4 Week 7 (ONLINE)
    Assignment Type: Teaching and learning strategies to promote thinking and questioning
    Word Count: 1350 words
    Weighting: 33%


    MARKING CRITERIA: In this assignment you will be assessed on your ability to:

    Design teaching and learning activities to promote student acquisition of thinking and
    questioning skills

    Provide a well-supported rationale or explanation with evidence of your reading and
    engagement with the modules material, key ideas, and concepts

    Write with clarity, accuracy, and demonstrate appropriate and professional written
    and communication skills


    Assignment Outline:
    You are required to complete the following three (3) tasks (450 words each):

    (i) Outline two (2) teaching and learning strategies that you could use in your classroom to
    assist your students to develop metacognitive skills. Write a brief rationale to explain your
    thinking behind the design of these strategies, and why you think they would be effective in
    promoting metacognition.
    (450 words in total).


    (ii) Explain how thinking-focussed questions help students to develop higher order
    thinking skills. Briefly describe two (2) practical teaching and learning activities you could
    use in your classroom to assist students to ask thinking-focussed questions. Preferably,
    these two (2) activities would align with your curriculum specialisation(s), however, they can
    be of a more general nature if you wish.
    (450 words in total).


    (iii) Drawing from the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning (PEEL) data-base, choose
    two (2) PEEL teaching activities you could use to promote good thinking and questioning
    skills in your classroom. Preferably choose activities that align with your curriculum
    specialisation(s), [but they can be of a more general nature if you wish]. Explain why you
    have chosen these PEEL ideas, and how applying them into your classroom would promote
    your students thinking and questioning skills, (and also your own questioning skills as a
    teacher, if relevant to the PEEL idea you have chosen). Please include a copy of the PEEL
    activities you have chosen as an appendix to your assignment.
    (450 words in total, plus appendix).
    2



    Assignment Format:

    The assignment will be presented in one document in MS word format
    The three (3) questions should be clearly indicated by subheadings
    For this assignment you are required to cite your sources in-text and provide a
    reference list. As each response has a 450 word limit it is strongly recommended
    that you keep direct quotes to a minimum, paraphrasing instead
    There will be one appendix containing the two PEEL activities (this may affect the
    Turnitin reading, but this will be taken into account).
