A template for the children to create a restaurant menu of their own. I used this with a P5 (year 4) class along with iPads to research Thai food and use descriptive words to create an enticing menu for customers. The template includes a space for the restaurant name, meal name and description and also the price.

This is a PowerPoint to go along with a planning worksheet. The powerpoint explains the history of shadow puppets in Thailand and shows some examples including a video of a show in southern Thailand. It then shows some examples of modern style puppets to inspire the students. These are linked to classic fairytales and asks the students to guess the story. It then shows the worksheet for planning their own shadow puppet shows in groups.

This worksheet is to go along with my PowerPoint presentation resource on making a shadow puppet. It is an activity for the students to start writing down ideas for their shadow puppet show before beginning to create them.

These signs are to be used as an indicator for what students are required to do at each spelling station. I use these for a carousel style lesson where children have about 10 minutes to complete the task with their spelling words for the week, then once the time is up they move on to the next. There are activities such as writing ‘silly’ sentences, writing the words backwards and writing their words in ‘fancy’ writing.

This worksheet is for the children to plan out their sales pitch for a chocolate bar they will create. It allows the students to discuss in their groups and write down their ideas. I got my students to do this before creating the packaging for their chocolate bar and creating the script for their pitch.

This PowerPoint Presentation is a great introduction to a ‘sales pitch’ style unit using persuasive writing techniques in which they are required to create their own chocolate bar to pitch. There is enough content on this to be used over many lessons. The presentation first explains what a sales pitch is and shows a child friendly example of one. Then the children look at some examples of chocolate bar wrappers before being quizzed on some slogans for existing chocolate bars. It also goes into more depth about sales pitches and offers opportunities for the children to act out some examples and find the persuasive techniques in them. There is also a success criteria checklist for the children to check that they have everything included in their own, such as a rhetorical question, hand gestures and eye contact. I did this with my Primary 5 (Year 4) students and they absolutely loved it!
