Curriculum Workshop: ICT and English 12/12/13


ICT - Blogging, 'The Cloud', G Drive, Trackers...

English - Literacy in Lessons

Some ideas to use in class:

  • WOW Starter: Find a WOW word! Find a word that you haven't used in your design logs, annotations, review, etc and incorporate it into the text.
  • Add 5 WOW words to your review!
  • Anagram starter: Solve the anagram to find today's keyword.
  • Find the keywords hidden around the room.
  • Synonyms: "a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language, for example shut is a synonym of close"
  • Hook - Friends
  • Identify words students commonly use in their design logs that need to be improved e.g. big - thinking year 9.
  • Starter activity: Link to Pointless game e.g. students to come up with the best synonym and one that no one else has thought of - Gold for a pointless answer.
  • Text: Provide a simplified text - students to add description to improve the text - homework? Next lesson, starter - compare with exemplar or each others.
  • Banned Vocab: Create a list of banned vocabulary.
  • PEE all over your work - Point, Evidence, Explain
