This double session is intended for 3 hours but could be extended over a few sessions and contains 40 slides & an 8 page hand out. It is meant to follow my Language Features intro’ session and then features the main acronym running through all my resources. Effectively, students create a language guide to carry forward through the year, or for revision at home. Explore both fictional and nonfictional features of language - Word Classes Sentence Forms & Purposes Listing Repeating Letters Figurative Features Persuasive; Informative & Explanatory Features This is quite detailed and is essentially 2-3 sessions in one. It is littered with task boxes and guided annotations via step-by-step/click-by-click animations. There are two main ways for delivery, either teacher-led or student-led. Teacher-led, requires a prescriptive approach: providing the annotations and answers upfront. This can get quite monotonous but splitting it up will be necessary. Approaching this way, would be an introductory approach. Student-led requires the opposite: holding back the answers and annotations and letting students find them, either independently or together, before providing any answers. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =-)

Takes the whole group to the same educational end via tasks which are progressive through two 1hr sessions (or so). It looks at ‘explicit’ and ‘implicit’ definitions and examples. It uses a how to stay safe at a concert video to start with and has questions on the handout. There are a couple of basic reading tasks and a group activity with a map link and matching 10 questions. Looks briefly at 6 non-fictional layouts and has a pairs, matching, game with instructions for peer questioning. There is a template and suggestions for a mock article and an example basic article with an annotations task. There is a mini homework task at the end. Join the discussion!

This leads nicely into Report writing - simply get my session or create one to follow removing the persuasive elements. This lesson is also good because some of the new C&G writing questions are mixing purposes.

These can be used as starters, bridges, or as part of formative assessment. They can be pasted into other marco-enabled files and they can be sent to students as a slide show which can be completed, saved and returned for assessment. The text boxes can be moved in the live slideshow, just use the ‘Duplicate’ function and not the ‘Extend’ and they work really well on a touch screen, as well as with a mouse. Students enjoy them because they can take responsibility, both On and Offline. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =-)
