Seating plan templates

These are intended to be viewed as the students see the room, so they’re suitable to display on the screen / whiteboard. They’re in a dyslexia friendly font and should be easy to edit to suit your requirements. Each table or group can be edited (colour etc.) for carousel / differentiation purposes. It’s best to keep a master copy of the template you use and duplicate it as needed. To duplicate a slide, simply right click on it and click ‘duplicate slide’. The final slide is a ‘build you own’ template. Drag and drop from the units provided, copy and paste where necessary to suit your own classroom layout. These are fully editable. If you have any comments then please let us know via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail.

Halloween Haunted House For Sale - Adverts

(0)
English - Halloween Haunted House For Sale - Adverts A series of activities on the theme of advertising a haunted house. Included are several templates, animated resources, peer assessment sheets, teacher notes, discussion prompts, word mats. This lesson will make a great end of term activity, and will create some attractive display work, as well as develop skills in persuasive writing. Activity 1 - Give the students access to the adverts, either printed out or displayed on the board. Students should work to identify the features of the advert using the instructions on the slide. This could be done as independent, paired or group work. A carousel activity would suit this task, especially if other tasks are built into the carousel activity station. Each advert can then be displayed to possibly annotate on the screen / aid discussion. Activity 2 - Work through the discussion prompts. Again, this could be done as independent, paired or group work and could be built into a carousel activity station. There is a printable prompt sheet for students to write on if appropriate. Activity 3 - Students should use a dictionary / discussion to build up a bank of words. These can be added to a printable word mat. Again, this could be done as independent, paired or group work and could be built into a carousel activity station. There is the further option to built up a bank of starters & connectives, a pre-populated list has also been planned for weaker groups. Word mat is displayed to aid discussion / assess understanding. Activity 4 - Students write up their own adverts using the templates provided and the work prior. This is suited to independent work, but could be done in pairs or groups. If previous activities have been completed as a carousel, this could be where students break away to work independently. Several templates have been provided, including one with blank ‘photos’ for the students who like to draw. Activity 5 - This is the main assessment opportunity. A sheet has been provided, however assessment could be done in many different ways and built in to match school / class policy or routine. www.acornteachingresources.com

Geography - Map skills - Direction

(0)
Geography - Map skills - Direction A complete lesson with a range of activities and resources aimed at teaching students how to use direction as a geographical skill. Students will apply the skill in several different ways as well as develop their spatial understanding of Europe. Complete lesson > thoroughly resourced and ready to teach > snappy starter > explainers > SPaG activity > practise questions > varied map activities > peer assessment > summary activity > teacher notes > lesson plan > lesson evaluation > homework The main aim is… For students to learn / apply skills in describing direction. To develop a spatial understanding of Europe. Key ideas and content… There are 8 points to the compass (as far as we’re concerned for today anyway) We use direction to describe location / journeying. Direction can be used by many different people in different situations. To differentiate… Students could take turns doing the countries / cities activities and then swap to help each other. One student in a pair could have the map or atlas and act as an expert. Pair up students when doing the map work. To extend�� Use an OS map of the local area, Google Earth, an Atlas or online mapping to explore places. Use the homework template and a local map / online mapping to explore geographical features in the local area (using direction obviously). Certainly use the CYO task and encourage students to think about how they can test understanding / get students to apply map skills beyond simply describing. To assess… The road trip / CYO activity is the main assessment point. Class discussion and the summary activity will also show progress and allow you to assess understanding.
