Things we could do - Monitor and develop teachers’ planning and learning design so that Learn -Create - Share can be most effective in promoting achievement and other outcomes

Reading - extended discussion of text, deeply explore ideas and thinking
Need to give the students a chance to be critical, analyse the text
Students need choice to present their learning themselves
