This Rich task plan allowed Oliver and Carmen to use their problem solving and inquiry skills.

Carmen Marks
Carmen has been at school for 7 months when she came to Room 5. She was reading above her chronological age. She has advanced oral language but is only just achieving in Written Language.The goals I am hoping to achieve are:


  • Develop her talent/gift in reading to benefit and improve her written language.
  • Develop and allow her to use her advanced oral language in all areas of the classroom.
  • Allow her to use her reading ability to do inquiry learning and problem solving to develop her thinking skills.










Oliver Prowse

Oliver has been at school for about 5 months. Academically he is reaching the standard. He has shown some interesting thinking skills during class oral discussions. Example: "If the house is on fire you must get out fast and if the fire is outside then don't get out!"
The goals I have chosen for him are: 

  • Develop his thinking skills through problem solving and inquiry learning.


  • Develop and use his oral language in all areas of the classroom.
