26 Lessons in total – including three progress check & quiz lessons.
These lessons were made for students in the Middle East and have a strong focus on EAL and keyword acquisition/application. Each lesson has 1-8 keywords on easy to use cards that fit into the lesson activity and also make excellent printable revision resources (the end of unit test lesson features them all in one place).
Each lesson begins with a different active learning activity, a mini-plenary and a written or creative ICT task requiring the correct application of the keywords. All have stretch questioning to the main activities. All include keyword literacy worksheets.
Wolsey Academy has had a lot of success with this SOW with EAL students who have really progressed in their understanding of the technical vocabulary involved with the ICT IGCSE.
