This 18-slide stand-alone lesson explores the question: ‘Does spelling matter?’.
Students are prompted to think about why spelling is so important, and the lesson demonstrates some humorous examples of how incorrect spelling might lead to some dangerous misunderstandings!
We think about some tricky homophones, including effect/affect and practice/practise, and devise some methods for remembering which spelling applies to certain contexts.
Students are asked to correct the spellings of various sentences and passages to consolidate their understanding. There is an opportunity for peer and self-assessment at the end of the lesson.
Also included is a homophones worksheet for students to complete either in class or as a homework activity.
This lesson is ideal for upper KS2 and for KS3 pupils.
