Patukae College/OER Reef and Rainforest wiki in Marovo Language/Lesson Plan ideas

= Reef and Rainforest Lesson Plan Ideas =

The WikiEducator project pages will be used for drafting of the lesson plans only. The draft lesson plans developed in this collaboration are subjected to an approval process through the Ministry of Education and the quality assurance team. This will ensure correct curriculum linkage and authenticity regarding Marovo indigenous knowledge.

The completed, quality assured and approved lesson plans are then uploaded to the UNESCO Marovo wiki site. These can be seen at the links below:
 * In English language
 * In Marovo language

Lesson Plan Criteria
Lesson plans will follow the agreed criteria:


 * Compliant with identified objectives of the current Solomon Islands National Education Action Plan (NEAP) and SIG Strategic Development Plan, such a Outcome Based Education (OBE)
 * Strongly integrated with the current Solomon Islands Ministry of Education curricula for science, technology, environment, mathematics and other related subjects
 * Spread over an agreed Year range
 * Encouraging respectful group work between the girl and boy students to encourage Gender Equality
 * Highlight the unique role of women to encourage Gender Equality
 * Encourage group work between students and community
 * Conforming with traditional practices of restricted information, as some information may not be shared
 * Themes can be used that run across the topics and grades, i.e.
 * Marovo stories
 * animals and plants
 * customs and traditions
 * livelihoods
 * our changing Marovo
 * suggestions please!

The team will refer to the curriculum statements for each grade, and consult with teachers and curriculum officers to map specific lesson objectives to grades and topics, completing the table of lesson ideas below. Then we will use the lesson plan template to create the draft plans. Note that at this stage we do not specify the way the Reef and Rainforest resource is used, or the outputs for the wiki. That is done in the detailed lesson plan.

Many of these ideas were first suggested by Marovo teachers at the One day workshop on 4th Nov 2010
