Every lesson follows a uniform structure, utilising Rosenshine’s Principles for sequencing and Bloom’s Taxonomy for learning objectives to build challenge. Each lesson is designed to be easy for any teacher to pick up and use. This is through the slides being colour coded and action icons to illustrate what should be done, this is so the students and teacher knows exactly what to do and avoids cognitive overload. There are stretch activities for more able, scaffolding for the less able and key terms and dual coding for EAL students. There is an instructions slide for teachers, outlining the learning objectives, timing, key stage aimed at and specific instructions of which resources should be printed and the quantities of them (assuming a teacher has an approximate class of 30). All content and imaging is my own, with the exception of some images which have their copyright details in the slide notes, which are creative commons licenses.
