    Review eclipses

    Main Body
    45 minutes

    Review how a lunar and solar eclipse occurs. Use two


    diagrams to represent these two eclipses. Revise
    information and clarify any misconceptions that the
    students have.

    Begin to inform students that many cultures how myths and


    perceptions of eclipses. Ask students in the class if they
    know of any.

    peoples perspectives on solar eclipses.

    Discuss the role eclipses play in the lives of the people


    from different cultures.

    Discuss the similarities between the cultures views of


    eclipses.

    Activities
    1. Using the information sheet students are to extract
    information into a table.
    2. Once students have complete this they are to be given
    a cultural slip and read it. From this information they are
    to expand the story and develop it through adding extra
    information. This is to be converted into a recount/diary.

    3. Two online assessments have been select to test the


    students knowledge on solar/lunar eclipses.
    4. Extension 1: to complete an Australian indigenous
    cultural slip and research deeper into the background
    information.
    5. Extension 2: Draw 2 diagrams, one of a solar eclipse
    and another of a lunar eclipse. Students are to them
    write about the differences between the two as well as
    the main characteristics of them both,

    Behaviour
    Management

    Select students to read aloud their recount. Ask students to


    give warm and cool feedback.
    Giving particular student less information on the cultural slips will provide
    students with less to read therefore less information to retain.
    Paddle pop sticks with names on ensure that students pay attention at all time in
    case their name gets called out.

    Behaviour management worked better today however I still need to pull them in
    faster when they get too chatty. This activity worked well as they were engaged
    and completed the work successfully. Forgot to mention success criteria though,
    need to remember this and refer to it at the beginning and the end of the lesson.
