Materials/ Aids Adaptations Evaluation Home Assignment SB class board flashcards (optional) handout exercise see end of this document Combine Reading Lessons 1 and 2 in order to leave more time later for the Skills Checks. Leave out Reading 2 Ex B # 3 and replace with the handout exercises (see above). Ex C (CB) can be used for evaluation. Students write 5 facts that they have learned this week in school. There is an additional handout on the website which can be printed off. This gives intensive reading practice.
My Tip: Start using file cards to evaluate and monitor progress in writing. (I have also suggested this for speaking) Write each student s name on a file card. When you monitor during writing activities, make a note on the relevant card about their writing. Give marks out of 5 for handwriting, spelling, punctuation, accuracy, fluency, or completion of task etc. Focus on one or two different areas each lesson. You will soon build a profile for each student which will help when writing reports etc. Day 3 Theme 1 Title Education Lesson Writing 1 Pages SB 20, TB 62-65 Objectives For students to practise the following sub skills of WRITING: relate sight and sound (Ex A) spelling of words with each of the vowel letters (Ex A) controlled practice of the use of articles (Ex B) understand and practise SVO pattern sentences with the addition of prepositional phrases (Exs C and D) Warm Up Use the flashcard activity in the introduction in TB.

Give a spelling test on these words the next time you see the class.
My Tip: Remember to bring your file cards to today s lesson. Focus on different students work today and also different sub skills e.g. using the correct tense. Don t forget to write the date and title of each activity you are assessing.
