A full lesson detailing to pupils how to identify the features of a leaflet (linguistic and format) and recreate these in a writing task, based on the Edexcel English Language exam. Suitable for SEN classes, KS3 classes and low ability KS4.
A recently observed Ofsted 'Outstanding' lesson, with a clear presentation.
The lesson contains a think, pair, share starter. The main activity consists of a pupil led analysis of two leaflets (designed to cover a small range of language and structural features) and finally the plenary consists of a peer assessment task (worksheet for this is attached). The entire lesson is very pupil-led, containing fast-paced, engaging tasks.
Learning objectives.
A05:
LO1: Communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, selecting and adapting tone, style and register for different forms, purposes and audiences.
LO2: Organise information and ideas, using structural and grammatical features to support coherence and cohesion of texts. (Pupils friendly objective on PPT).
Perfectly pitched for ASD pupils (I have so many who are obsessed with WWE!) with many visual prompts and small, manageable activities.
A full lesson (recently observed as 'Outstanding') which depicts how to write a formal letter applying for a job. Based on the Edexcel's English Language (Paper 2) imaginative writing task.
A fast-paced, pupil-led lesson with varied activities and integrated (graded) peer assessment. Worksheets are provided for differentiation of the task and a full lesson plan shows details of all activities (although the PPT is very straightforward anyway).
