I created the splat activity resource for a student who was having difficulty in knowing when to use ou and ow in spellings. The activity itself can be easily adapted to other spellings and I first came across it as a game for teaching the multiplication tables.

The activity can be used with any spelling list or text. It could also be sued as an independent individual or group learning activity.

I created this resource for one of my individual students who was studying The Titanic as a class project and wanted to know more. He used two copies of the titanic template to create a ‘lift the flap’ information board based on his independent research.

The writing prompt also includes a useful strategy to encourage students to independently edit and develop their writing.

I have used this activity to encourage the individual students that I tutor to use descriptive language in their writing. The frame asks the student to write a simile for snowflakes which they can then use to create a metaphor.

Once the poem frame is completed the student selects the best similes and metaphors to create their own poem. The activity includes examples of similes and the corresponding metaphor. T his activity can be completed as an independent and group activity.
