Scenario 8: The facilitating Geography teacher

Mustafa is a Grade 10 Geography teacher. The CAPS documentation for Geography teachers is not very detailed and does not give as much guidance as in other subjects. While this is disconcerting for some teachers, it also allows some leeway for teachers to address topics of the curriculum in a variety of ways.

CAPS Rounding

Mustafa surveys his options by first looking at the 2enable resource list. He decides that he will use the video Plate Tectonics and Volcanic Eruptions (Part 1 of 6) as a closely facilitated teaching tool.

2enable Scenario 2

 

Mustafa previews the video and decides on key moments to pause the video and teach important concepts using the Socratic Method. He makes a note of the questions he would like to use to lead the process of learning. He creates a supplementary worksheet for the learners so that they may make structured notes based on the interaction in class.

Scenario 2

Points to discuss:

  • How would Mustafa introduce the use of this resource?
  • In what ways may the impact of the digital content resource represent Augmentation and in what ways may it represent Modification in this lesson?
  • Watch a few minutes of the video and identify at least one stage at which you would pause the video. What question(s) would you ask?
