This activity was used to link session 1 and 2 revising what DARTS are. The ideas is to use any suitable text to explore the skills used to decipher the text and thence use them in constructing their own.

Quick revision task to review language items from last term and start a glossary which they can then build on.
Some students will respond well to this approach others will find more of a spidergram approach more useful, see the Starter ideas list below with a link to a good website for this .

Thanks Keith. If you are using Keith's or creating your own . Think about how to make this collaborative, differentiate the task in class etc

# data[].attributes.body
This exercise is based on a few units from level 1 Carpentry and joinery. The exercises try to familiarise learners with multiple choice, how to ignore unknown vocabulary etc

# data[].attributes.body
I recommend trying this one out. You can pop quizzes and all sorts on there. Takes no time to do and then you share it with the learners or colleagues. Worth exploring the library of resources.

To share

•Strategies to reinforce punctuality.

•Ways in which we elicit rather than tell

•Ways in which we can support English skills development as part of your programme

Activity to explore mistakes commonly made when doing the H&S module. All of these are taken from your students files.
Use to review last terms' work and get them to work together to collect more examples.

# data[].attributes.body
Starter activities are useful for a number of reasons. They can be used to:
- Revise / build on prior learning
- Introduce new topic
- Test knowledge of new topic etc
They encourage collaboration, c an be used to develop English and maths skills and  provide open challenging tasks which can be accessed at different levels.

Here are 8 different approaches adapted to reflect some of the subject matter I've seen in your classes. There are many more which I'm sure you've tried out at one time or another.
Give them a go and be prepared to talk about them next week.

Here's one created by Alan Green

This is a really simple way of introducing digital technology into the classroom.The tool can be used in a variety of ways without having to rely too heavily of access to computers etc. Responses rely on the learners using their phone.
Useful for a quick revision test/ checking progress at different stages during the session, capturing opinions before launching into a new topic. Easy to set up and very visual.

Checking the meaning on new vocabulary items. Could be tools, processes etc . This can be done in a number of ways and definitely ticks the English skills tab. See below for ideas. The crosswords are free at https://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/crossword/
A. Work in pairs to complete. Create their own version to test another pair for next week.
B. More challenging approach. Copy the grid twice fill in half of the clues in each. Working in pairs they have to ask e.g. What’s one across? Their partner then defines the answer. When they have finished they could create their own, as above.

To maximise collaboration get them to do in pairs then make up 2 to test each other?

Just one of the things you can do is create flashcards to learn new terms/vocab. It will also turn the term and definition into different games - Have a go at my drag and drop check on different types of assessment -https://quizlet.com/237055659/assessment-flash-cards/

Reading activity to go with powerpoint.

# data[].attributes.body
ideal as a quick revision or to find out whether they know some terms before starting a topic. Use a free online creator like discover education Select the vocabulary you want to revise /introduce. Give out word search first and get them to try, if too difficult you could use the key or part of the key as prompts.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks Alan. Definitions are difficult so always a good idea to model one and if you have low level lit/ESOL students then maybe use a definition scaffold.

These are really useful when you want to focus on getting feedback from everyone not just one or two.It can be used efficiently and effectively. Have a look at the tutorial first to decide maybe.

Cut the cards up. The idea is to turn the over mix them up and then find the matches by only turning 2 at a time. Initially a memory game but you must get them to give an example of how the tool is used to win the point.

An initial list of the different ways in which we can use digital technology to good effect I the classroom. Research tells us that the majority of learners value an enjoy learning some things using digital technology. Approaches are refreshing, often helps with engagement, but shouldn't  be done just for the sake of it.

5 steps to help you get the most out of written texts

# data[].attributes.body
This task works well in a number of ways. Learners collaborate to do the task more quickly, don't really know it's a reading task and enjoy the deciphering challenge etc. Get them to focus on how they did the task, what clues they used, how a number of answers could have worked, how they discarded some they originally guessed, then focus on the sub-skills of reading that they used to complete the task, boosting confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
This can be done with extracts from texts that you are likely to use in class. Just choose about the first 100 words and cut them up so that students use their understanding of spelling, punctuation, context, purpose etc to put them together again.
This is done at word level, but can easily be done at sentence and paragraph level to introduce structure e.g. fairy story, mixed texts to highlight the characteristics of different genres, or maybe same piece of writing written in different registers ( formal /informal).
What are the advantages of using activities like this with your re-sit learners?

# data[].attributes.body
This works well as a follow on activity to the literacy clocks and introduces the idea of identifying genre and how we can analyse it identifying purpose, content etc
We only looked at the first page but the second is useful to get them thinking.
