 Hi Annie

 Great work on your lesson plan. Here is some feedback, questions and some suggestions.

 In the introduction maybe you could use the interactive white board to record the students ideas.

 In episode 1 I like the idea of using the PMI chart. Maybe the teacher could also use the IWB to explain this chart.

  Is the PMI chart going to be used by the teacher as a reflection of the fieldtrip by the students?

 The students could work in pairs to complete the PMI chart as a cooperative learning strategy. Is this the type of format you were thinking of for the PMI chart?

 Episode 2 could also be documented in the IWB under the heading you have noted.

 In episode 3 do the students work in groups to document their responses or individually? During this episode do you think the students should return to the KWL charts and add further information?

 Also are you having headings on the templates? For example why people come to Australia?

 In the lesson end/plenary do the students individually share their work with the class?

 I like the idea of the students’ work being added to the immigration display in the classroom.

 Maybe families could be invited to the immigration display to share what students have learnt to end the unit of work.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Do you think we should develop a self-reflection rubric for students to complete at the end of this lesson?

<p class="MsoNormal"> When we complete the lesson plan for the fieldtrip there may be other things we can look at adding to this lesson plan but it is looking good so far.
