English Language A-Level lesson (AQA) to introduce students to the terminology of: embodied knowledge, schematic knowledge, co-text. Offers regular opportunities for pupils to write on the board collectively to contribute and to reflect on what they've learnt.
A two-part activity to revise the differences between there, their, and they're. Part One is a mnemonic poem/song (PPT and PDF formats) to help pupils understand and memorize the differences. Part Two is a humorous story in which pupils are required to fill in the gaps with there, their, or they're.
Aimed at KS3 and KS4 pupils - good for any group that needs to be reminded of these vital distinctions in the English language!
