Using Scripts to Provide Models

Another way to facilitate modelling and the use of video clips is to use scripts of the talk. All of the video clips on this resource are accompanied by a script. You could try any of them but the following examples may be particularly useful in work with a class. The following examples are scripts taken from the video clips in the previous section. The scripts give a clear sense of part of the classroom activity and will enable you to focus very precisely on aspects of the work seen on the video. Projecting the script on a whiteboard will help to focus the discussion.

Activity

• If you have used or viewed one of the accompanying video clips, consider how you could work with a teacher to use one of the scripts to support any of the pupils featured in the clips.
• How could you support the teacher and particular pupils in a class where the clips are shown?
