Be able to support the evaluation of learning activities

Case Study

The class teacher has asked you to work with a group of 12 year olds to prepare a modern interpretation of a scene from Macbeth. You did not study Shakespeare at school yourself and you need some help.

Who will you consult?
What will you do?

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
