Resources to cover at least a whole lesson looking at alternative ways of saying “said” in order to expand vocabulary and enhance independent writing. The two resources in this bundle are a presentation to be worked through as the input part of the lesson and a worksheet pack. Presentation The presentation is highly interactive involving questions, short and long activities, games, and worked examples so that students take an active part of their learning journey and engage a range of senses and skills. The presentation is structured in 4 parts as follows: Why should we consider alternative words for said? Worked Examples Application to Sentences Activities. Worked Examples The worked examples help students create a word bank of alternatives for said that they can then use in their sentences. To help students think about alternatives for “said” the presentation discusses the impact of feelings on how a person may speak. The presentation then works through common feelings and how someone may speak with each of those feelings. Students take an active part in gathering this knowledge by being involved in class discussions which will lead to the creation of class mind maps. To accompany these class activities, the presentation goes through its own mind maps for each of the chosen feelings so that students should finish this section with a bank of words they can apply to their sentences. The presentation begins by giving students a short passage of speech where “said” is used repetitively to emphasise the lack of interest and information this creates. This passage of speech is then returned to at this point in the lesson as the presentation works through swapping out all the “said” for an alternative word chosen from the previously created word bank. The presentation takes this section sentence at a time to increase accessibility. Students are encouraged to complete the task in their own books, choosing their own words, along with the presentation. The presentation gives an example at each point to help those who may lack confidence to choose independently. The presentation concludes with 4 activities. Including: Word Association game Sentence building dice game Charades game Real-life applicable task involving sentence writing. Each activity looks to develop different interpersonal skills such as leadership, communication, confidence, alongside academic learning. Subtle colour, images, and animations are used throughout the presentation to aid memory and ensure the presentation is aesthetically engaging. Worksheet Pack Collection of 3 worksheets. The 3 worksheets are scaled to assist with differentiation and developing a range of skills. A summary of the 3 worksheets is as follows: Word Bank exercise - students are given a grid with 10 different phrases that describe how someone might speak for example: “talking loudly”, “asking a question”," addressing an audience" etc. Students are asked to complete the grid with 3 appropriate “said” words for each phrase that could be used to describe someone talking in that way. This task is to help children develop a bank of alternative words and think about appropriate context for each choice. Complete the sentence application task - students are provided with 10 sentences containing speech with the “said” word missing. Students should read the sentence and fill in the missing “said” word for each sentence. This task is ideal for students who would struggle to independently think of their own ideas for sentences whilst still allowing them opportunity to apply their alternative “said” words to the context of a sentence. Independent Sentence Writing Application - the final worksheet should challenge older learners to construct the whole sentence independently, remembering to correctly use an alternative “said” word. In this worksheet, students are provided with 5 scenarios where a conversation is taking place for example: two friends playing Minecraft together, friends organising a party etc. Students are asked to write a brief conversation that the characters might have in each of the given scenarios. This task allows students more independence to apply their knowledge of the given topic to a relevant scenario. The bundle is designed to include ample resources so that you can choose which resources best suit the needs of your children. All activities and teaching is designed in a way that aids differentiation and in accordance with the National Curriculum (UK). Quiz The collection concludes with a 30 question quiz organised into 3 rounds. The idea of 30 questions is that ina typical class of 30, every child can answer at least one question. The rounds are structured as follows: Multi-choice questions on said words to describe feelings. Multi-choice questions on said words that describe situations where someone is speaking. Multi-choice questions applying to varying said words to sentences. Multi-choice questions help the quiz to be more accessible to a wider range of abilities. Each round aims to include common said words, feelings, and situations to enhance the relevancy and relatability of the activity to the children and their wider learning. Answers are provided at the end of each round so pupils can peer/self assess.
