I put these together to help me with behaviour issues in lessons. Students respond well to image re-enforcement and you can easily point to the board instead of repeating yourself. I always begin with the slide 1 when with year7s....

AMAZING CREATIVE WRITING ACTIVITY

Students have an antipathy toward questions about texts. Here's an exercise with NO text. As they work their way through the questions, the actual,text becomes clearer. There's no right answer, but there are logical ones. Silent start/ one sentence answers and then ....write up the story to which THESE are the questions. Pass to partner and answer. Student led lesson.

Can be adapted to other year/class groups that do not know each other. Works brilliantly as a ' cocktail party' introduction to the class. I use the library as a venue for this lesson.

If you're in a school where this is an issue, it might be as well to show this slant on the liberal use of orange.
