The Farm Yard - Interactive Literacy

Interactive Classroom Teaching

SUMMER HALF PRICE OFFER

Interactive teaching in the classroom will enhance the learning experience for students, motivating them, stimulating language and modifying behaviour with everyone working together in a practical way. Teachers who try out the techniques never look back and are inspired by the quality of written work, commitment to topics and general enthusiasm.

This series of three lessons (will usually spin out into more) is suitable for age 5-8 years children. The lesson outlines are simple, easy to follow for teachers new to using Interactive teaching techniques and can be done in a classroom.

The lesson takes a group of children into a farmyard setting where they meet various farmyard characters - the Farmer, Pinky the Pig, Danny the sheepdog and sheep, Daisy the cow, Jenny Henny and her hens, the farm horses.

The teachers can follow through the teaching script which allows for the children to respond and to develop characterisation and role-play. There are a few problems in the farmyard for the students to help with, bringing in problem solving to the storyline!

A Help Screen for your smart board is also included. Teachers find this particularly useful to help the children recall the story and with their writing tasks.

The lesson plans highlight ideas for development straight into writing skills.
