Consider the following questions and write a paragraph that responds to these questions in the
space provided below:

1. How does the knowledge of this topic inform choices for learning design?
• What is the main idea/s and most important things to know about this topic?
• What ways of thinking and doing are important for learning this topic?
• How do these inform the design of learning tasks and sequencing of lesson steps?
2. How do learners and their diversities inform choices for lesson design?
• How have you considered the learning support needs in this class?
• How have I ensured that all learners may participate and learn?

3. How do opportunities in this context inform choices for lesson design?

• What possibilities and constraints have I considered?
1. The most important things about this topic, is for the learners to know how to conduct
themselves in an interview. Learners must be able to identify good or bad behaviour in an
interview, they must be able to master interview techniques. Learners will be able to
prepare questions for an interview and be ready to be interviewed.
2. The learners will be ready for any future interview. The role play will assist them to gain
confidence should they get an opportunity to be interviewed. The cartoon handout and
discussion will assist the learners to be able to identify good or bad behaviours in an
interview.
3. The constraint might be the fact that the school does not have an overhead projector to
play video clip. A laptop will be used, and the teacher will bring extra speakers for the
learners to hear what is being said in the video clip, even though some learners will not
be able to see the screen, at least they can hear the audio.
