Aims of RLS

•Main aim: Trial a range of strategies for developing the literacy of pupils with weak literacy, in order to support their learning in Geography and History (RLS)

Where did we start?

• 8 pupils were selected from 9C1 and 9D2

• Pupils were selected based on a diagnostic assessment

Setting up RLS

• Collaboratively we decided upon a strategy that would help develop pupils literacy.

• One strategy was developing sentence structure. For example the development of simple, compound and complex sentences

Trialing RLS

• Each member of staff trialled the strategy whilst being observed

• The observation focused specifically on the pupils who are being targeted NOT on the teaching

Evaluation

• At the end of each observed lesson staff debriefed and discussed the strategy trialled and the impact on the selected pupils

Trial a range of strategies for developing the literacy of pupils with weak literacy, in order to support their learning in Geography and History (Research Lesson Study).

I can think about what I am going to

write and make it better.

Geographical Terminology was shared with pupils

Selected pupils were

framework

More able pupils were
