An interview lesson needs to demonstrate how you can progress students and applying grammar skills in writing is a great way to do this! This writing lesson teaches children all about the use of apostrophes and allows them to demonstrate this in their writing. It has been used for observations and has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

This one off lesson is great to use on its own or can easily be adapted to any topic. Children will complete a range of tasks both independently, in pairs and in groups, before going off and writing sentences about a topic - an example included is Bruce Bogtrotter’s movie scene from Matilda based on the book by Roald Dahl.
