Writing for Teaching Notes

From Idea to Article: Writing for Teaching Notes

Teaching Notes should mainly be developed through a separate programme for teachers, instructors, and education professionals.

Sub-genre	Workshop title	Suggested structure
Teaching tip	How to Write a Practical Teaching Tip	Teaching problem → strategy → example → limitations
Classroom activity report	How to Write a Classroom Activity Report	Context → objective → procedure → learner response → reflection
Resource review	How to Write a Teaching Resource Review	Resource → intended users → applications → strengths and limitations
Reflective teaching note	How to Write a Reflective Teaching Note	Situation → decision → outcome → reflection → next step

A Classroom Activity Report should answer five questions:

1. Who were the learners?
2. What was the learning objective?
3. What did the teacher and learners do?
4. How did the learners respond?
5. What would the teacher retain or change next time?
