Literacy, Year 1, Sheen Mount Ps

Lesson Plan School: Sheen Mount Primary School Address: West Temple Sheen, SW14 7RT Teacher: Mrs Reynolds Curriculum Area / Area of Learning: Literacy – Year: 1 The lesson objective: To know the correct layout and structure of a letter.

How the visualiser was used? The Visualiser was used by the teacher to demonstrate how structure a letter

written from the Lighthouse keeper to the seagulls. The teacher had a prepared letter with lots of errors in it and it was shown to the children. They were asked to identify good aspects of the letter e.g. handwriting, punctuation, spelling, layout and grammar. Children were shown how to highlight areas which needed to be developed e.g. underlining spelling which needed to be checked, locating where full stops and capital letters were or should be. The children were then able to go and write their own letters using the structure shown to them. The benefits of the Visualiser to teaching & learning: • Enabled all of the children to see what was being demonstrated by watching on a large screen. • Children were able to observe the correct way to write a letter. • Children were able to refer back to the big screen if they were having difficulties or needed reminding how to set out particular aspects. • Misconceptions were able to be discussed, shown and corrected on a large screen. E.g. correct spelling patterns, letter formation etc.
