| Slide — what is on it | What you SAY | What happens, and why |
|---|---|---|
| Slide 1 LAUNCH Writing — Day 2 | (nothing yet — this is up as they come in and settle) | Have Writing — Day 2 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 Notes at reading speed | “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 Take hierarchical notes while reading, without pausing to format. | “Take hierarchical notes while reading, without pausing to format.” | 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 | “Understanding comes before the record of it, never after.” | 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 Words we will use
T3 PARAPHRASE = the same thing said in your own words | “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 6 LAUNCH What we will do
Usable notes from a text read once, at the speed it is actually read. | “Usable notes from a text read once, at the speed it is actually read.” | 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 models note-taking while reading continuously. 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 8 I DO The test
“Did I write while I was still reading?” | “Here is the question we ask ourselves: “Did I write while I was still reading?”” | Say it, then apply it aloud to the example already on the board.WHY IT WORKS — you will be asked: Every failed note-taker fails the same way: they write while their eyes are still moving, which is copying, not noting. The test catches the behavior rather than the product — a child can see whether their pen was moving during the paragraph, and cannot easily see that their notes are a paraphrase. This matters now because Grade 6 reads more than it can copy. Students: Listen, then say the test back. |
