Learning processes:

LMQ3 - How does the learner best learn? DoL5 Focus - What Habits of Mind will be the focus of this LEP and how will I support their development? DoL 5 Creating, Imagining, Innovating The learners need to be thinking creatively and imaginatively when they are creating their acrostic poems and coming up with effective adjectives to describe their dad. By encouraging them to be innovative, creative and imagine what their dads are like, will allow them to think further than just the basic adjectives.

DoL1 Focus - What Attitudes and Perceptions will be the focus of this LEP and how will I support individual learners? (Including differentiated teaching for student diversity.) DoL 1 Classroom Climate Acceptance

- Focus on positive aspects of what students do reinforce positive behaviors, learning and achievement. If addressing inappropriate actions and behavior, focus on them, rather than making judgments about the child. Focussing on the learners positive behaviours and actions should promote a comfortable and enthusiastic environment to learn in. Also for certain students like Ethan and Lachlan B focussing on their positive behaviour can encourage them to continue to work well.
