Presentation consisting of 77 slides with suggestions for weekly writing topics throughout the school year. Ideal for whole school, or multi-class writing. A daily session of 15 minutes plus an extended session at the end of the week or for homework, should give pupils time to work on the quality of their final pieces.
This resource has been updated and extended. There is now a 20 slide presentation (with teacher directed animation) which covers the various permutations of the basic Subject/Verb/Object sentence. It is constructed so that the teacher can work through the slides one by one while the pupils write down answers before they are displayed . The word ‘transitive’ is introduced and explained at the beginning of the presentation.
The display slide consists of simple sentences demonstrating how to colour code words and phrases into Subject - Verb - Object. On the accompanying worksheet, the task is to colour code sentences. There is also an extension activity for early finishers - adding subordinate clauses to sentences.
PDF presentation covering rules for adding suffixes to words ending in 'l', 'le'. Spelling rules for adverbs, for words ending in -'ful', changing 'y' to 'i'... More than a single lesson starter - I would focus on one slide a day and build it into a unit of work over a week or so. The complete presentation could also be used as a revision session.
A quick starter consisting of 10 slides where pupils have to identify words which are incorrectly spelt. Tests knowledge of 'ie/ei' words and rules. Answers at the end of the presentation.
