Simple PowerPoint Presentation which informs children why written instructions are important. PowerPoint then models a Laughing Potion Recipe. Blank recipe worksheets are provided (lined and not lined) as well as titled ‘Laughing Potion’ blank recipe worksheets.
Keyword list included.
Perfect resource for Halloween Revision.
3 Presentations differentiated for 3 ability groups.
Presentation slides;
1. What is a verb? (Recap and enforce)
2. Moving images;
What is Superboy doing? - Flying
What is the man doing? – Eating, watching or looking.
What’s happening on the football pitch?
How was that goal scored? Running/Ran, kicked and diving (goalkeeper)
What is the crowd doing? Jumping, shouting and cheering
3. What is an adverb? – go back to previous slides and ask ‘Are these people just flying? Eating? Running?’ Could any other words make these sentences more exciting? Quickly! Intensively! Frantically! Hurriedly!
4. Next 2 slides present beginnings of sentences using verbs giving me the chance to ask ‘What adverbs could make this more exciting?’
5. The second slide of examples for the HA group focuses on adverbs that don’t end in ‘ly’. MA group will be presented with one word which doesn’t end in ‘ly’.
6. Show video of Usain Bolt obtaining world record.
7. What words can be used to describe how Usain Bolt ran? Have a short discussion to see what words children can come up with. Then display 12 words (all adverbs) and ask would it be okay to use each of them. Some are wrong deliberately!
8. The ‘Dab’ slide (Usain Bolt dabbing). This is aimed at lifting the moods of the children. State that it is called the Dab so it is a…? noun. He is dabbing, so that is a…? Verb. And he’s dabbing confidently …which is an…? Adverb!
Practise dabbing confidently, timidly, proudly and lazily.
Main Activity
Slide 9 contains a video of Elvis Presley arriving onstage and singing. Inform the children that they are now news reporters, news reporters who happen to be very lucky because they get to go back in time to watch Elvis in concert, they even get to see him back stage! This video is very good for this lesson because there is a lot going on in it to start a discussion with the children asking them what verbs they can identify in the video i.e. singing, dancing, walking, swaying etc. Don’t forget the crowd!
Slide 10 for HA contains a table with potential adverbs. Tell the children that they will have to write a news report so they can report to the people of 2017 on what they witnessed. Report should have 8-10 verbs linked with an adverb.
Slide 10 for MA contains a table with verbs in one column and the rest of the table contains the potential adverbs. Get children to write a news report on what they have witnessed for the people of 2017 using the verbs provided, linking them to the adverbs provided.
Slide 10 for LA contains a table with 7 verbs on the left column and 6 adverbs on the right column. Verbs on the left are all things Elvis done in the video, but now we want to find out how Elvis done them. Give them paper cut outs of the verbs and adverbs and ask the children what can they match.
I’m a graphic designer turned teacher, this gives me the advantage of being able to create high tech resources such as this one. This resource is perfect for an observation, I know this because I used it for mine and aced it!
Lesson will be Scooby Doo themed.
First slides investigate children’s knowledge on questions, statements, commands or exclamations. Each slide will provide children with a moving image example of each type of sentence we are discussing today. Ask children to give an example to the rest of the class and praise accordingly.
Nest section of slideshow will display Scooby Doo video clips, each containing questions, statements, commands and exclamations.
After each clip, slideshow will display children a script of the previous clip (modelling the correct way to write it) and ask them to raise their hands if they can identify what type of sentence it is and if they know how we write it. Then the slideshow will will display the correct answer.
Keep going with each clip. Don’t be afraid about asking children to experiment and think of their own sentences – give them the stage!
***Guided Work***
Guided work slide will be displayed followed by a slide of prompts and examples.
Year 2 children will be asked to write individual sentences. Their sheet has been divided into 4 titled sections with space to write accordingly. LA Year 2 will be given the same sheet however theirs will have examples of each to remind them.
Year 3 children will be asked to write at least two paragraphs. I will show them a few slides explaining what I mean by paragraphs. LA Year 3 will be given a worksheet, divided into two blank paragraphs and prompts for each paragraph.
***Please Note I created this slideshow for a composite class of Year 2 and 3. You can edit guided work to suit your needs***
Plenary
Plenary will be a review.
Slideshow will play a longer clip this time, tell children to pay attention because you are going to reward whoever can tell you either a question, statement, command or exclamation from the clip. Those children can be rewarded with a sticker.
Extremely effective PowerPoint where each slide presents a word. The children will be asked to identify if it is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb. The sentences have been designed to trick children. For example, the word ‘fish’ is displayed. When tested most children say it is a noun, however PowerPoint will then display it in a sentence as a verb.
Each slide also contains a funny moving image, these keep children engaged.
When I did this lesson with my class it was wonderful to see the realisation set in.
The last slide contains a table of words which can be used as either a noun, verb, adjective or verb. It is then up to you what you’d like the children to. They could select 5 words and write two sentences for each word, using them in different context and identifying what they have done.
This was an extremely effective lesson.

Two very good writing instructions lessons. You could easily use one to follow up the other.
Here I have made 3 visually stunning PowerPoints to help you with the alphabet and phonics revision. These PowerPoints give you the educator complete control of how you deliver them as well as allowing opportunities for children to engage.
Each PowerPoint consists of 27 slides: A title slide and one for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet.
The 3 PowerPoints are titled as follows;
The Alphabet
The Alphabet_Only Uppercase
The Alphabet_Only Lowercase
Within PowerPoint 1 “The Alphabet”, each slide requires 5 clicks from the teacher;
Click 1 - shows the uppercase letter in a large precursive font at the top of the slide. e.g. ‘A’.
Click 2 - shows the lowercase letter in a large precursive font at the top of the slide. e.g. ‘a’.
Click 3 - shows a stunning clipart of something beginning with that letter (a list of the 26 items I selected are at the bottom of this description. e.g. an apple.
Click 4 - Shows the name of the clipart with an uppercase beginning letter. e.g. ‘Apple’.
Click 5 - Shows the name of the clipart with a lowercase beginning letter. e.g. ‘apple’.
The subsequent two slideshows (‘The Alphabet_Only Uppercase’ & ‘The Alphabet_Only Lowercase’) are identical however they only show either uppercase letters or lowercase letters. The same precursive font has been used and embedded to each slideshows - so it won’t matter if you do not have it on your computer.
The 26 cliparts which have been selected for each letter are;
A - apple
B - banana
C - cat
D - dog
E - eggs
F - fox
G - grapes
H - hat
I - ice cream
J - jam
K - key
L - lemon
M - mouse
N - nest
O - orange
P - pig
Q - queen
R - robot
S - snake
T - tap (faucet)
U - umbrella
V - van
W - windmill
X - x-ray
Y - yellow (colour)
Z - zebra

Here I have made 26 visually stunning posters each representing a different letter of the alphabet. These posters have been professionally designed by a graphic designer.
Each poster contains the letter in uppercase and lowercase, an image to help represent the letter (a = apple) and the spelling of the word to show the title letter in use.
You will receive these posters in 2 formats, as an image and as a pdf. This will give you the freedom to print them what ever size you like! So they can be posters or flashcards.
The font used is a precursive infant font - ideal for learners of that age.
The 26 images which have been selected for each letter are;
A - apple
