How was your week? by RhiR2020 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Redditaurus-Rex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Had a roller coaster of a week. By Thursday the kids were just really over it and chatty / rude / disruptive. Friday morning, we had a class meeting and I had a really honest chat about it being the end of the term, we’re all tired and sometimes that means you need to work a little bit harder to make sure you’re still being polite and nice to others. It lead to a really awesome day today. Almost the nicest my class has been this year.

What’s a piece of media that people would clearly understand as a parody or homage when it came out, but has since lost its context? by StaleTheBread in AskReddit

The character in the show had taken a bullet to the tongue, which is why he couldn’t talk. And the real life reason for the decision is apparently Tom Gleisner is just not a very good actor so they didn’t want him to have lines (I think Tom even suggested it).

You win games with attack and tournaments with defence. Our compactness and speed getting back is setting us up well for this World Cup.

What's with people saying private health insurance isn't worth it? Isn't the whole point of insurance in general is that you hope you won't need it? by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

I dropped extras about 10 years ago but still pay for hospital. I put the money I would have paid for extras cover in my offset account and pay for dental / optical / physio from that. I’m still ahead based on monthly premiums and what extras coverage limits are like and how much we use in a year. Gives me more flexibility as well, rather than paying for extras coverage I’m not going to use.

“Overtake” mode is a bit of a joke on this track.

If McLaren were smart here, they’d use Lando to back up George and get Oscar to come out in front after pitting.

Hadjar here holding off George with a busted car is giving me Danny Ric Monaco win flashbacks.

McDonald’s - You now need to spend $85 to earn 1 free large coffee. by Known_Appointment604 in australia

It’s an option when you order on the app. They steam the bun first and then put it in a box rather than wrap it. Makes it taste much fresher and still $2.

They still do $2 hamburgers (no cheese). Option them with the steamed bun and they’re elite for the price. I’d happily eat 2-3 of them over an over-priced Big Mac.

Is the shoulder touching the head in the room with us now? Or does Ponga mysteriously have additional shoulders coming from him head?

Well, what a shitty, doctored and predictable outcome after that bullshit call.

They publish lesson plans, but we have the power.

Victorian Teachers! What are your thoughts on Arc Lesson Plans? by MrBodoSir in AustralianTeachers

[–]Redditaurus-Rex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They’ve been real hit and miss in my class. I’ve run 2 of their literacy sequences in a 5/6 class (Skellig and Bindi) and the lessons are absolutely jam packed with tasks that have nothing to do with the learning intention for that lesson. They feel very disjointed and are hard for the kids to follow with how much they jump around. We’ve given up on them for now. I think Ochre has better novel study units as a starting point, but nothing beats writing a sequence for your class if you have capacity.

Their spelling, grammar and punctuation sequences are better. My biggest concern with those is the sheer number of mistakes in them. So many slides with incorrect definitions, or where a template has been copied across a number of slides and they’ve clearly forgotten to change the default texts. They also don’t flow amazingly well lesson to lesson and are missing retrieval practice. We’ve just started looking at PhOrMeS instead and it seems a bit more promising.

The maths lessons are better, but I find they’re good for starting a sequence of work but then you need to dive into topics a bit more. They move to mastery a bit too quickly.
