PRESENTATION MODULE 5. NUMBER OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR TEACHING A GROUP OF STUDENTS WITH DIFFERENT /ADDITIONAL NEEDS, WHEN TEACHING BUSINESS GNVQ.
By evaluating a typical lesson plan for teaching new students on the start of their Business GNVQ, we have determined a number of approaches which may be effective.
BRAINSTORMING
The first student activity is to look at an illustration which depicts, amongst other things, the aims and objectives of the course. It also suggests questions which the students need to brainstorm.
The teacher strategy is: - 1) involve the whole of the class. 2) Capture the points on OHT/Flip. 3) Initiate a group discussion.
This has good points and bad points.
Disadvantages
. Can be demanding and can only be used for short periods. . Some students can opt out. . Group needs to learn and obey rules. . Warm up sessions may be needed.
Advantages.
. All can participate. . Needs few resources. . Encourages team work. . Uses student experiences. . Seems to be part of the creative process.

TEXT BOOKS
The next student activity is for the students to record their findings in their text books. This can be done either in pairs or individually.

This approach is where a logical sequence of subject matter guides the student through their findings which in turn the tutor assists in the drawing out of the students’ knowledge of the subject and guides them through the text book.
Advantages
.Students not dependent on the tutor for all of the content as the tutor is only a guide to the realisation of the students own knowledge. .Combines information giving (sharing of knowledge either from the
