Hi Manoj, Thanks for sharing your materials. I know all about lack of time! This is a great theme for materials because it’s so current and universal. Most people have an opinion about it.
A really nice sequence of activities. I like word clouds – they are really useful and take the design of a worksheet up to the next level. Very clear numbering, user-friendly materials in terms of navigation.
Some of your instructions need to be simplified, I think. E.g. 3: Match the techniques with the evidence. Then, make the headings clearer in the table: Techniques to understand changes in the Earth’s temperature. Details of evidence produced.
I like the fact that you have added lines for answers in 4. You also offer students the options of writing less or more – always good to include ‘differentiation’ like this.
Your materials look very professional. I'd spend time improving complex instructions. one good idea might be to read lots of instructions in published course books and then use them as a model.

Thank you so much Katherine! I'd improve these on my future model lessons.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the way the first activity used a word cloud - that would work really well as a warm up I think.
