This lesson helped me to achieve and outstanding for a recent lesson observation. The PowerPoint looks at an empathetic style exam question and then there is a group work activity. The group work activity is set up so that you have a different character at each different work station, with different questions to get students to think and empathise with each character. Once downloaded, it is really simple to follow.

The 1st PowerPoint can be delivered in a number of ways and there are many questions based around the main characters that enable learners to empathise with them. The 2nd PowerPoint then focuses on the female characters and the planning and writing of an empathetic response. This could possibly be used over 3 lessons.

Planning Sheet for Transactional Writing - Non Fiction

This planning sheet can be used to plan any form of writing. There is a section on there for making inferences too, i.e. if students are responding to something that they have read. This really allows students to understand the importance of planning and really helped my lower ability learners in terms of giving them a really structured way of doing so.

This presentation helped me to secure an 'outstanding' judgement in my lesson observation. The presentation is set up to allow students to explore juxtaposition and pathetic fallacy in an extract. The entire lesson focuses on AO2 - Language, Structure and Form. The lesson is set up for group work activities.
