strategy and role and talking to get the rest of the class to include him.

Developmental targets arising out of this lesson (at least ONE, no more than THREE link to Graduate
Standards (AITSL) where appropriate)

5.1,5.2 Something that can help students improve their grades would be to use the rubric
regularly with the class so they understand exactly what they need to do to achieve a
certain grade. Being able to constantly refer to this will mean the students are constantly
thinking about being graded and this can help to focus them.
