“Perseverance”
Student Needs: Some students in the class
are moving on to College next year (Year 7),

as greater responsibilities.

Considerations for this group/class
Be clear and concise with guidelines and what is
expected from students learning.
As students are independent learners I will try to let
the learning evolve from the students themselves
and listen intently to their discussions and responses
to know how to scaffold the students learning.
Preparation for the unit
Gather resources and ideas (borrowed,
internet search, library, things from home)
