Summary

Instructions

1. Divide the class into eight groups (if the class is too small for this, have fewer groups and give some groups two posters) and hand out prepared A3 pockets (see diagram below) and markers to each group. 2. Hand out one teacher role card to each group at random. Explain that each group has a different teacher role. Ask the groups to produce a poster about their role with the following elements:

1) a short, clear definition of the role

2) some example moments in a lesson when a trainee might take on this role

3) a simple picture or symbol that will illustrate the role.

3. Refer trainees to teacher-training resource books and course books for their research. Explain that the trainees should use the top two-thirds of the paper for the text and that the poster should not actually name the role!

4. Allow about 10–15 minutes and then have trainees display their posters around the room. Have trainees read each other's posters and try to identify the different roles. Lead feedback and write the correct names of the role in the bottom one-third of the paper.

5. Regroup the trainees into up to seven groups. Hand out a set of coloured cards to each group. Explain that each card has an example of a teacher using a role. Each group should identify the roles and put the cards in the appropriate poster pockets.

6. Demonstrate checking the cards in one of the poster pockets. Discuss other possible options when a card appears to be in the wrong pocket. Then allocate a poster to each group and have them check in the same way.

7. Conduct feedback by asking trainees if there were any cards they would put in a different poster pocket. Have trainees move the cards accordingly.

8. Leave the posters on display around the walls as a reminder for the remainder of the course.
