| Slide — what is on it | What you SAY | What happens, and why |
|---|---|---|
| Slide 1 LAUNCH Writing — Day 17 | (nothing yet — this is up as they come in and settle) | Have Writing — Day 17 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 Phrasal verbs in academic English — use the words | “You met these words last lesson. Today you use them.” | 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 Use 6 academic words in sentences of your own, and choose which version suits who is reading. | “Use 6 academic words in sentences of your own, and choose which version suits who is reading.” | 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 | “Few words carrying much meaning was praised of the Prophet, peace be upon him.” | 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 Sixty seconds — what do you remember? | “Before anything new: U6 set 3.” | Five minutes, boards out. Take answers from boards, not hands. Do not re-teach — this is retrieval, not a lesson.The spiral. These are sets met 2, 5, 10, 20 or 35 lessons ago, and the items are DIFFERENT from the ones taught then — same category, new example. If they cannot recall it, note it and move on. Students: Write answers on boards. |
| Slide 6 LAUNCH Words we will use
T3 PHRASE = a group of words that works as one unit | “Two words we need before we start.” | Read each, point to it, move on. Do not drill them here.Pre-pointed vocabulary. Naming them now stops the lesson stalling later on a word that was never the point. Students: Listen. |
| Slide 7 LAUNCH What we will do
Some meanings live in a group of words, not in any one of them. | “Some meanings live in a group of words, not in any one of them.” | 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 writes one sentence in everyday words, rewrites it with the school word, and says which reader each version suits. Both stay up. 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 9 I DO [build 1 of 3] put forward | “Here is the word writers use: put forward.” | CLICK 1 — the school-word word appears ALONE. Wait. Let them look at it before you give them the meaning.Color: the target word is crimson on every slide it appears on, so the eye knows what is under the knife without being told. Students: Read it. Say nothing yet. |
| No slide I DO [build 2 of 3] put forward ≈ suggest | “A word you already own that means nearly the same: suggest.” | CLICK 2 — the everyday word wipes in beside it. Point from one to the other with your hand as it lands.The partner is the hook the new word hangs on. It arrives SECOND and never separately — the pair is the unit, not either half. Students: Say the partner back. |
| No slide I DO [build 3 of 3] She put forward a new idea. | “And here it is doing work: She put forward a new idea.” | CLICK 3 — the example sentence fades in underneath. Read it once, then ring the target word ON THE BOARD copy, not the slide.Now the whole pair plus the sentence is on screen and stays there. Nothing comes off. Students: Read it with you. |
| Slide 10 I DO [build 1 of 3] sum up | “Here is the word writers use: sum up.” | CLICK 1 — the school-word word appears ALONE. Wait. Let them look at it before you give them the meaning.Color: the target word is crimson on every slide it appears on, so the eye knows what is under the knife without being told. Students: Read it. Say nothing yet. |
| No slide I DO [build 2 of 3] sum up ≈ say it shortly | “A word you already own that means nearly the same: say it shortly.” | CLICK 2 — the everyday word wipes in beside it. Point from one to the other with your hand as it lands.The partner is the hook the new word hangs on. It arrives SECOND and never separately — the pair is the unit, not either half. Students: Say the partner back. |
| No slide I DO [build 3 of 3] To sum up, plants need light and water. | “And here it is doing work: To sum up, plants need light and water.” | CLICK 3 — the example sentence fades in underneath. Read it once, then ring the target word ON THE BOARD copy, not the slide.Now the whole pair plus the sentence is on screen and stays there. Nothing comes off. Students: Read it with you. |
| Slide 11 I DO [build 1 of 3] break down | “Here is the word writers use: break down.” | CLICK 1 — the school-word word appears ALONE. Wait. Let them look at it before you give them the meaning.Color: the target word is crimson on every slide it appears on, so the eye knows what is under the knife without being told. Students: Read it. Say nothing yet. |
| No slide I DO [build 2 of 3] break down ≈ split into parts | “A word you already own that means nearly the same: split into parts.” | CLICK 2 — the everyday word wipes in beside it. Point from one to the other with your hand as it lands.The partner is the hook the new word hangs on. It arrives SECOND and never separately — the pair is the unit, not either half. Students: Say the partner back. |
| No slide I DO [build 3 of 3] Break the problem down into steps. | “And here it is doing work: Break the problem down into steps.” | CLICK 3 — the example sentence fades in underneath. Read it once, then ring the target word ON THE BOARD copy, not the slide.Now the whole pair plus the sentence is on screen and stays there. Nothing comes off. Students: Read it with you. |
| Slide 12 I DO The test
“Have I kept the whole phrase exactly?” | “Here is the question we ask ourselves: “Have I kept the whole phrase exactly?”” | Say it, then apply it aloud to the example already on the board.WHY IT WORKS — you will be asked: A phrasal verb or an idiom is learned and retrieved as ONE unit — *carry out*, *shed light on*. Change a word and the meaning collapses, which is the test. Children try to reason the meaning out of the parts, and the parts do not carry it; that is precisely what makes these hard and why they must be drilled whole. Students: Listen, then say the test back. |

| Slide 14 WE DO Together | “Now with me.” | Class rewrites two everyday sentences into school-word, then judges one case where the everyday version is BETTER. Discuss in pairs using the frames.Take answers from boards, not from hands — that is how you see all thirty. Students: Answer on boards. |
| No slide WE DO Say it first
The put forward is ___.
___ is another way to say suggest. | “Turn and say it to your partner before you write it.” | Three to five minutes. Optional — but skipping it is a decision, not a default. Walk and listen for the frame being used.The SAME frames as the writing scaffold below. The talk is the first rehearsal of the sentence they are about to write. Students: Say the frame to a partner. Both speak. |

| Slide 18 YOU DO If you need it
The put forward is ___.
___ is another way to say suggest.
Use the frame as often as you need it today. | “Use the frame as often as you need it today.” | SCAFFOLD, NOT AN INSTRUCTION. Say both halves: the frame is there if they need it, AND it is better writing without it. Leave it on screen while they work — a scaffold they have to ask for is a scaffold that shames them. Walk and note WHO used it; that is your group for tomorrow, not a mark against them today.The ration falls as the depth rises — three, two, one, none — so the class can feel the scaffold being let go rather than pulled away. A child who uses none when allowed three has told you something; so has a child who uses three when allowed one. Students: Write. Use the frame for at most 3. |
| Slide 19 YOU DO 1. MATCH
Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.
Like this:
put forward — suggest | ““First, match. This is the easy one — do it fast.”” | Two minutes, no more. Walk and check nobody is guessing by elimination — ask one child WHY, not just which.Recognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet. The worked example stays on screen while they work — do not advance past it. Students: Match every pair. |
| Slide 20 YOU DO 2. CHOOSE
Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: account for, break down, draw on, go through, make up, put forward, refer to, rule out, sum up, take place.
Like this:
She ________ a new idea.
→ put forward | ““Now the hard one. Two of these nearly fit every gap. Pick the one that fits best and be ready to say why.”” | This is the rung that shows you who actually has it. Do not help for the first three minutes. Then take one gap and ask two children who chose differently to defend their choice.PRACTICE MODE: interleaved (all). Gaps are drawn from more than one set — the words COMPETE. This is the interleaving, and it is where the skill is built. Expect it to be harder than blocked practice and do not rescue them. The worked example stays on screen while they work — do not advance past it. Students: Fill every gap. Be ready to defend one. |
| Slide 21 YOU DO 3. FRAME
Finish each sentence.
Like this:
The put forward is ___.
→ The put forward is put forward. | ““Use the frame.”” | Scaffold level: full frame. Read the frame aloud once, then let them write.The release to independence. Today's scaffold is “full frame”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off. The worked example stays on screen while they work — do not advance past it. Students: Complete each frame in the notebook. |
| Slide 22 YOU DO 4. PRODUCE
Write your own sentences using the academic words. Target: 1 paragraph (7–9 sentences). A + means more than one sentence in that slot. Use the frame as often as you need it today.
Like this:
She put forward a new idea.
(uses put forward — and it does real work) | ““Your own sentences now. 1 paragraph (7–9 sentences) for a full answer. Use the frame as often as you need it today.”” | Double-spaced, so there is room to write back to them. Walk with a pen and mark ONE thing per child — the thing this lesson taught.The printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 3 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it. The worked example stays on screen while they work — do not advance past it. Students: Write 1 paragraph (7–9 sentences) in the notebook. |
