Just spoke to heilda VP of the school.
Informed her of ELIS's plans to use videos of lesson demos for research and howresearch ethics/protocol makes it necessary for letters of consent to be prepared for classes to be filmed.
Informed her of teaching plans for P4/6 classes, both focussing on writing but with different emphasis and outcomes.
p6 - PSLE prep
P4 feedback and scaffolding for Process Writing
She shared pupil difficulties with compreshension (cloze and OE) and also writing.
Shared importance of relationship between reading/writing and ways to foster pupil reading.
Will talk to Sharifah (HOD ICT) about filming needs etc.
Thoughts on feedback

FB as intrusion/inclusion
FB as input/output
FB as destination/journey
FB as discrimination/invitation
Went into 4 Res for an 'orientation' lesson - shared my love for English and some interesting aspects of the subject/language.
Also, artiulcating expectations and norms I would like in the class.
- No hands up
- Random calling
- Community of learners
- There are "good' wrong answers
- We learn through effort and attention
- Thinking takes place all the time in class
Charge up and enthused when I sense the excitement and palpable interest in learning. Matter of establishing ties/relationships.
Shared my interest in etymology.
Quote for the day.

Falling in love with English is easy. Interesting and fascinating facts /aspects. Novel and new knowledge.
Remainig in love is difficult - boring, technical, new and challenging skills and content
