Scaffolding International Turtle Day through Poetry and Philosophy (Secondary)
A children’s book about turtles is philosophical? Oh yes it is! Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss), was not just a writer of children`s books, but a profound philosopher, a poet, a political advocate (sometimes controversial), and a promoter of critical thinking on all levels.

Scaffolding by Enriching the Sequencing Dynamic (Secondary)
Sequencing is a concept that needs to be repeated throughout the education process. We need to intentionally give our students the opportunities to be able to recognise and express sequences, and we need to provide the phrases they can use to clarify the ordering of events. It might be motivating to know that studies show that students are able to recall information more accurately if they’ve been schooled in sequencing.

Scaffolding Classical Literature: Read, Remember, Rendition
Through varied techniques, the reading of authentic classic literature is an incredibly enriching experience (although your students may not appreciate or admit this until years later!). Presented creatively, you may find that otherwise uninterested students will happily participate in activities that review/clarify details of the stories and so be able to interact with the literature more confidently.
This activity focuses on the purity of Shakespeare’s language. Let the students roll it around in their mouths and feel the strangeness and how satisfying it is when they can finally pronounce some of the dialogue.

Scaffolding Human Rights (Secondary)
March 25th is the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. As educators, it’s vital for us to pass on bits of history so that even our youngest learners can internalise the injustice of what happened, in order to create more hope for the human population of today. Most history texts are written in depersonalised structures (passive tense with no recognisable narrator’s voice), and so are divorced from a tangible context that we usually need to connect to the information. Let’s add humanity and feeling to history so that our students see the connection to what happened in the past, their reality, and what they can do to make positive changes in the future.
