Lesson interview

[Ezzie1]

I have an interview coming up in a primary school as a teacher. My brief is to “bring in an item of interest to stimulate conversation in a class of mixed ability year 1/2 class” any ideas on what I could take in as my item??

A locked suitcase which rattles when you shake it. Maybe with some travel stickers on the outside.

Is it with actual children or adults pretending to be children?

[PurpleDaisies]

You can use basically anything at all. It’s the way you use it that matters,

[PurpleDaisies]

Sorry, just reread. Are you already a primary teacher or applying to train?

[Ezzie1]

I am unsure whether it is with children or adults pretending as it wasn’t stated in the email but will be ringing up to find out. Thank you for your idea

I qualified from university this year so this would be my first teaching job. Will it all to do with my questioning about the object that matters?

[PurpleDaisies]

If it’s a teaching interview it will be a class. Have none of your cohort got jobs?

Odd task because that’s a classic pgce interview one.
