As discussed in my previous entry, on a recent placement in a school, I was asked to create a maths lesson linked to my learners topic work on Ancient Egypt. Watching this documentary has given me a wealth of inspiration regarding the links I could, and should have created when producing my lesson plans.
The paths I could have explored with the learners were endless, and I can guarantee that most learners would have been fascinated by the first 15 minutes of this documentary.
Introducing media in the classroom to build a foundation of understanding is something I had not considered and coincidently this documentary would have been a fantastic aid for my learners, and myself.
