SOLO PD 19.3.2016, 22.8.16

I have had SOLO PD this year, beginning with Julie on 19.3.2016  and then at Syndicate meetings, 22.8.16. We were shown the 3 layers of learning and then were to trial it in our classes. I found the PD helpful as it brought a freshness back to SOLO for me and has given me other ways of using SOLO in my classroom. Using the 3 layers encourages the children to quickly get to higher levels of thinking.
This example is of a Reading activity where the children had to move through the 3 levels of learning based on a text about a school olympics. At the multi-structural level they were listing the events at a School Olympics. At relational they were comparing and contrasting between our school Olympics and the school in the text. For Extended abstract they had to create their own Olympics Day.
