Complete lesson, for the first time you meet any new class, including your tutor group. Use this lesson multiple times during your first week! Use it at the beginning of every year. Great for new teachers and experienced teachers. I have been using this very successfully for over a decade in a wide variety of schools (including two “tough” schools). It provides an interesting and highly structured introductory lesson and has ensured good behaviour - even in groups that other teachers consider to be badly behaved. Happy Teaching Barclayfox

Lesson for the first time you ever meet any class - complete lesson. Use it over and over again during week 1 Complete lesson, ready to use, you only need to spend 2 minutes completing the ‘who am I’ slide in this powerpoint. Key Stages: KS3 and KS4 and KS5. (You could even use it with KS2). ALL subjects: yes, really, all subjects and you can use it with your tutor group too ! Use this lesson to : Reduce the stress and pressure. Improve your experience of the first ever lesson with a class. Improve your learners experience of their first ever lesson with you. The first lesson with a new class is the most important lesson you will ever teach. You need to give this lesson to each of your new classes. Assuming you have 12 classes and your teaching career lasts 20 years you can use it 240 times! I’ve lost count of the number of times I have delivered this excellent lesson, this truly critical lesson. It has been used and improved a huge number of times over many years. During the lesson you will: * Sort out the seating plan. * Learn names. * Introduce yourself to the students. * Get to know the students. * Set and agree class rules. * Rewards - find out which rewards they care enough about to try and get. * Set expectations of behaviour and ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher. * Help learners understand why work ethic is so important. * Learn about individual learners needs. * Learn about their individual likes (helps build relationships) * Learn about their individual dislikes (helps build relationships) * Start to build relationships. * Start to coach / motivate the students about learning. This is an excellent lesson - I use it with every new class and whether you are a new teach or a very experienced one this is a small investment for a great lesson to improve your experience and outcomes when you meet a class for the very first time.

This lesson is 4 in a series of 5 STARTER Pupils become engaged in the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle to find out what today’s lesson is about. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q and A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN Homework is set and then dispersion is demonstrated by the teacher, this is an opportunity for differentiation as high ability groups can do a short practical. There is a Q and A activity to bring out the key points. MAIN Dispersion is linked to the colours in a rainbow and how a rainbow is created. The standard ROY G BIV mnemonic for remembering the spectrum is introduced. MAIN Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see that the apple is red in colour? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how some colours are absorbed and some reflected off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she sees the apple as red. This progresses further into what effect different colours of light has on the colours that we see when looking at objects. Students then apply their new understanding to complete an activity and peer mark their answers. MAIN Students complete a practical experiment to investigate the effect of coloured filters on the colours that they can see. Next they look at the three RGB primary colours and the effects of adding them together. PLENARY A quiz - peer marked - which uncovers how much they have learnt during the lesson. Students self assess their understanding of this topic now they have reached the end of the lesson, and compare it to their previously self-assessed understanding at the start of the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES A variety of activities are provided just in case any of your groups requires them either this year or in future years. There is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc). Thank you for looking, your feedback is much appreciated! :) Lesson 4 in a series of 5. Happy teaching, Barclayfox.

I find that this PowerPoint and its varied and interesting activities keep lower level students engaged while allowing differentiation for higher achievers – see below for details.

STARTER Pupils become engaged in the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve 5 anagrams to find out what today’s lesson is about (you could offer a prize for the winners). After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a scientific literacy Q and A activity to ensure all students learn the key words required to understand this lesson. MAIN Homework is set and then students use the activity sheet (built into the PowerPoint – you just print it out) to work in pairs and label different parts of the eye, differentiation - higher ability explain the function of the parts. This can be self or peer assessed using the answers on the slide in the PowerPoint. MAIN Students undertake a matching activity to match the names of parts of the eye to their functions. This can be peer marked, and returned so that students can correct any errors / improve their work. MAIN Students recall the colours in the spectrum of white light, and this is developed into looking at the frequencies of the light and the relationship between colour and frequency. A gap fill activity promotes understanding of several key points and is self-assessed. MAIN Students watch a (carefully selected) short video that explain how our eyes see colour and then they have fun watching another video that tests their individual ability to see colours. PLENARY Students answer 5 questions by matching and then self-assess their understanding of the desired outcomes of today’s lesson now they have reached the end of the lesson. They compare their final understanding to their previously self-assessed understanding at the start of the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to improve their learning of the content covered today. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES A variety of activities are provided just in case any of your groups requires them either this year or in future years. All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but print the activity sheet (if required) and enjoy teaching it.
