| Slide — what is on it | What you SAY | What happens, and why |
|---|---|---|
| Slide 1 LAUNCH Writing — Day 36 | (nothing yet — this is up as they come in and settle) | Have Writing — Day 36 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 Nouns and prepositions — 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. |

| Slide 4 LAUNCH Use 8 academic words in sentences of your own, and choose which version suits who is reading. | “Use 8 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 | “Naming a thing correctly is the first step to thinking about it correctly.” | 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 PREPOSITION = the small word a verb or noun insists on | “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
The preposition is part of the word. *Derive* alone is not the item; *derive from* is. | “The preposition is part of the word. *Derive* alone is not the item; *derive from* is.” | Click once per line. Do not elaborate. Students: Listen. |

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 8 I DO [build 1 of 3] an increase in | “Here is the word writers use: an increase in.” | 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] an increase in ≈ more of | “A word you already own that means nearly the same: more of.” | 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] There was an increase in rainfall. | “And here it is doing work: There was an increase in rainfall.” | 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 9 I DO [build 1 of 3] a decline in | “Here is the word writers use: a decline in.” | 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] a decline in ≈ less of | “A word you already own that means nearly the same: less of.” | 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] A decline in numbers was recorded. | “And here it is doing work: A decline in numbers was recorded.” | 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] a lack of | “Here is the word writers use: a lack of.” | 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] a lack of ≈ not enough | “A word you already own that means nearly the same: not enough.” | 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] A lack of light slowed growth. | “And here it is doing work: A lack of light slowed growth.” | 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 The test
“Which preposition does this word take?” | “Here is the question we ask ourselves: “Which preposition does this word take?”” | Say it, then apply it aloud to the example already on the board.WHY IT WORKS — you will be asked: A wrong preposition is not heard as awkward the way a wrong collocation is — it is heard as an ERROR, and it is the single most common one in the writing of a child who speaks another language at home. It cannot be reasoned out: *comply with* and *conform to* follow no rule that distinguishes them. So the test is deliberately about the pair, never about the verb alone, and a child who is unsure must look it up rather than choose the preposition that sounds nearest. Students: Listen, then say the test back. |

| No slide WE DO Say it first
Because ___, the an increase in ___.
We use an increase in when ___. | “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. |

Because ___, the an increase in ___.
We use an increase in when ___.
You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it. | “You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.” | 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 2. |
| Slide 18 YOU DO 1. MATCH
Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.
Like this:
an increase in — more of | ““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 19 YOU DO 2. CHOOSE
Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: a decline in, a lack of, a reason for, a solution to, an increase in, the effect on, the relationship between.
Like this:
There was ________ rainfall.
→ an increase in | ““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: blocked. All gaps come from today's set. The worked example stays on screen while they work — do not advance past it. Students: Fill every gap. Be ready to defend one. |
| Slide 20 YOU DO 3. FRAME
Finish each sentence.
Like this:
Because ___, the an increase in ___.
→ Because an increase in, the an increase in ___. | ““Use the frame.”” | Scaffold level: partial. Read the frame aloud once, then let them write.The release to independence. Today's scaffold is “partial”, 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 21 YOU DO 4. PRODUCE
Write your own sentences using the academic words. Target: 3 paragraphs. A + means more than one sentence in that slot. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.
Like this:
There was an increase in rainfall.
(uses an increase in — and it does real work) | ““Your own sentences now. 3 paragraphs for a full answer. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.”” | 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 2 — 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 3 paragraphs in the notebook. |
