| Slide — what is on it | What you SAY | What happens, and why |
|---|---|---|
| Slide 1 LAUNCH Writing — Day 20 | (nothing yet — this is up as they come in and settle) | Have Writing — Day 20 up before they enter. Say nothing about it.Same slide every lesson, number only changes. It marks the transition into writing before you speak, which saves you having to. Students: See it on the way in. Know writing is next. |
| Slide 2 LAUNCH Copy a sentence worth copying | “This is how we set our hand and our page up to write.” | CONTEXT — say where this lesson sits: what it follows, and what it is part of. One sentence. The children should know what kind of work is starting.Context, not a hook. A child who knows what KIND of lesson this is spends no attention working it out. Students: Listen. Orient. |

Closure | “Here is what we will do today.” | Point to Launch once. Do not explain the others. · Retrieval on MWB · 3-5 minMini-whiteboards: Retrieval on MWB Students: Look. |
| Slide 4 LAUNCH One sentence from the page, copied exactly — capital, spacing, period. Using Poodle Knows Poetry. | “One sentence from the page, copied exactly — capital, spacing, period. Using Poodle Knows Poetry.” | PURPOSE — say it slowly, in these words. The teacher objective in the header is for you; this is the version the class hears.Never read a teacher objective to children. The version in the brief header is written for you and is too long and too abstract to say to a class; this one is what they hear. Students: Listen. |
| No slide LAUNCH WHY — SAY IT
ten seconds, off screen, in your own words | “The Qur'an was preserved by people who copied with exact care, letter by letter.” | Why this matters. Say it, do not read it. Ten seconds, then move on.Your words, not these. This is the one beat of the lesson that should sound like you mean it rather than like it is written down. Students: Listen. |
| Slide 5 LAUNCH What we will do
Copying a good sentence puts its shape into the hand. | “Copying a good sentence puts its shape into the hand.” | Click once per line. Do not elaborate. Students: Listen. |

You Do
Closure | “Now we i do.” | Point to I Do once. Do not explain the others. · 3-4 minMini-whiteboards: NOT here — they watch, they do not write. Writing during I DO is how the model gets missed. Students: Look. |
| No slide I DO (board — build the VIP, then leave it up) | (you are narrating each stage as you build it) | Build on the BOARD, not the slide. Teacher reads the page from Poodle Knows Poetry aloud with the book open, then models the move on one sentence from it. Then leave it up for the whole lesson.One click per step. The footsteps are never erased — the same strip is printed at the top of their sheet, so come back to it if anyone stalls. Students: Watch it being built. It stays there to look at. |
| Slide 7 I DO The test
“Is mine the same as the author's, mark for mark?” | “Here is the question we ask ourselves: “Is mine the same as the author's, mark for mark?”” | Say it, then apply it aloud to the example already on the board.WHY IT WORKS — you will be asked: Children copy the MEANING and write their own version. Asking for mark-for-mark identity forces the eye back to the model repeatedly, which is what copying is for — and it doubles as the handwriting and punctuation lesson, done on writing worth the effort. Students: Listen, then say the test back. |

| Slide 11 READ The teaching page — printed at the top of today's sheet | “Look at the top of your sheet. Read it with me.” | Read it with them — FASE or teacher read-aloud, never round robin. Stop at the worked example and let them look at it.NO BOOK. This grade works from printed sheets, and the teaching page is the top of the sheet already in front of them. The page number is for YOUR filing — it is how these pages accumulate into a Grade 2 volume later — and it is not said aloud. Students: Follow along. Read when asked. |
