This is a simple Powerpoint, using a child’s work to edit/enthuse/ teach all at the same time.

This is a week of writing lessons which ALL the children in your class will LOVE. They will end up with a well structured complete story they are proud of. There are teacher notes included in the Powerpoint, but these slides can be skipped through quickly. The emphasis here is that ALL children achieve success. The lessons can easily be stretched out to an hour, and usually the children will not notice the time. Optionally, at the end, an editing session can follow (I’ve put it up as a freebie) blurbs can be written, a book launch can be organised. I have more of these Powerpoints and I’ll add them to TES if there is the enthusiasm for them.

A sequence activity based on the book The Three Trees.

Children are given a copy of the circus. They approach the teacher for spoken tables tests. The teacher fires quick questions at them and if their answers are correct the teacher says, “Yep you got it.” The kids race back to their desks to colour, learn the next tables and return for another test. The first day is fun and chaos as all children get their 1’s and 2’s. Then it slows down. After a few days the teacher knows exactly which kids know their tables. If a child struggles, the teacher can give them simple questions to help them along. MASTER and GRAND MASTER tests are at the front of the class. These positions hold prestige and children work for them. Teachers can be tough on the quickest kids to get them to strive for that perfect quick recall.
