Gold boxes contain information that can be read to the class; it’s also a good opportunity to select a student to read for literacy. Blue ‘TASK’ boxes are always tasks to be completed (these may link to an extra resource that has been provided, such as a worksheet). There will also be a ‘sound level icon’ suggested for these (there is also a slide at the end full of sound levels icons that you can use to edit). Some tasks also have key careers/employability skills indicated. Orange ‘CONSIDER’ boxes are questions that can be discussed as a class or in groups. Green ‘EXTENSION’ boxes are extra work/challenge for those who complete the main blue box tasks or are otherwise ready for something more difficult. Red boxes generally have some information hidden behind them and will reveal as you click through the PowerPoint.
