Grade 7 · Lesson 32 — Explanatory — Edit and publish

Road-map project · blocked · 30 min · 20 slides · Launch → I do → We do → Read → You do → Closure
Anchor to leave them with: Published means someone else will read it. Finish it properly.
Objective Edit and publish of the explanatory project.
Smallest piece Editing is the narrowest pass, and this year the reference list is on the checklist.
Spot test “Is every source in my text also in my list, and the other way round?”
Why that test works A reference list is checkable in both directions, which makes it the one part of editing with a completely objective answer — and therefore the right place for a child to learn that editing is checking, not being judged. The two-way check also catches the commonest real error, a source cited in the text and never listed, which no amount of proofreading prose will find.
Why — in your own words What is offered to others should be complete, not nearly complete.

The lesson, slide by slide

Slide — what is on it What you SAY What happens, and why
Slide 1
LAUNCH
Writing — Day 32
(nothing yet — this is up as they come in and settle)
Have Writing — Day 32 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
Explanatory — Edit and publish
“Everything we have practiced comes together in one piece of writing.”
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 3
LAUNCH
Today ›› Launch I Do We Do Read You Do Closure
“Here is what we will do today.”
Point to Launch once. Do not explain the others.  ·  Retrieval on MWB  ·  3-5 min
Mini-whiteboards: Retrieval on MWB
Students: Look.
Slide 4
LAUNCH
Today we work on our own piece of writing.
“Today we work on our own piece of writing.”
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
“What is offered to others should be complete, not nearly complete.”
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: U26 set 1.”
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 REFERENCE LIST = every source named, gathered at the end
“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 Editing is the narrowest pass, and this year the reference list is on the checklist.
“Editing is the narrowest pass, and this year the reference list is on the checklist.”
Click once per line. Do not elaborate.
Students: Listen.
Slide 8
I DO
Today Launch ›› I Do We Do Read You Do Closure
“Now we i do.”
Point to I Do once. Do not explain the others.  ·  3-4 min
Mini-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 shows the road map with today's slot named, and models edit and publish on the class piece — one slot only, so the model is followable.
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
The test “Is every source in my text also in my list, and the other way round?”
“Here is the question we ask ourselves: “Is every source in my text also in my list, and the other way round?””
Say it, then apply it aloud to the example already on the board.
WHY IT WORKS — you will be asked: A reference list is checkable in both directions, which makes it the one part of editing with a completely objective answer — and therefore the right place for a child to learn that editing is checking, not being judged. The two-way check also catches the commonest real error, a source cited in the text and never listed, which no amount of proofreading prose will find.
Students: Listen, then say the test back.
Slide 10
WE DO
Today Launch I Do ›› We Do Read You Do Closure
“Now we we do.”
Point to We Do once. Do not explain the others.  ·  PRIMARY MWB use  ·  5-6 min
Mini-whiteboards: PRIMARY MWB use
Students: Look.
Slide 11
WE DO
Together
“Now with me.”
Class works the same slot on the shared piece, then reads two versions aloud and says which is clearer and why.
Take answers from boards, not from hands — that is how you see all thirty.
Students: Answer on boards.
Slide 12
WE DO
Interactive Modeling 1 of 7 — Describe what you will model
“We are going to learn IM 1-7 — the reference list is a new routine. We do it this way because it lets everyone be seen, not just the child with a hand up. Watch for three things.”
IM 1 — Give the why and relate it to how we work here. Exactly three criteria.
Interactive Modeling, step 1 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: Listen.
Slide 13
WE DO
Interactive Modeling 2 of 7 — Model it — silent and slow
“Watch carefully. After, I will ask you what you noticed.”
IM 2 — Do the whole thing twice, SAYING NOTHING while you do it.
Interactive Modeling, step 2 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: Watch in silence.
No slide
WE DO
(no slide — teacher and class)
“What did you notice?”
IM 3 — Take answers. If a child says “you didn't…”, ask “what DID I do?”
Interactive Modeling, step 3 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: Say what they saw.
No slide
WE DO
(no slide — teacher and class)
“Now watch her do it. Same three things.”
IM 4 — Pick a child you are confident will do it well; this model sets the standard the class copies.
Interactive Modeling, step 4 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: One child models; the rest watch.
No slide
WE DO
(no slide — teacher and class)
“What did you notice that time?”
IM 5 — Same question again. Let the class name the criteria, not you.
Interactive Modeling, step 5 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: Name what they saw.
No slide
WE DO
(no slide — teacher and class)
“Now everyone. Same three things.”
IM 6 — All children do it at once while you watch.
Interactive Modeling, step 6 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: Practice it.
No slide
WE DO
(no slide — teacher and class)
“That is how we do it from now on.”
IM 7 — Reinforce what was right. From here it is an expectation, not a lesson.
Interactive Modeling, step 7 of 7. Do not shorten it — the silent model and the two 'what did you notice' beats are the whole method; narrating instead of showing gives them the answer.
Students: Do it this way from now on.
Slide 14
READ
Today Launch I Do We Do ›› Read You Do Closure
“Now we read.”
Point to Read once. Do not explain the others.
Mini-whiteboards: NOT here — they watch, they do not write. Writing during I DO is how the model gets missed.
Students: Look.
Slide 15
READ
Writing Book 7, p.71
“Open Writing Book 7 to page 71.”
Read it with them — FASE or teacher read-aloud, never round robin. Stop at the worked example and let them look at it.
Our own book, not a purchased one — so it can be printed, edited and improved, and there is no license on it.
Students: Follow along. Read when asked.
Slide 16
YOU DO
Today Launch I Do We Do Read ›› You Do Closure
“Now we you do.”
Point to You Do once. Do not explain the others.  ·  Written on the sheet  ·  4-5 min
Mini-whiteboards: Written on the sheet
Students: Look.
Slide 17
YOU DO
In your notebook: edit and publish for your own piece, double-spaced so there is room to correct.
“In your notebook: edit and publish for your own piece, double-spaced so there is room to correct.”
Set them off. Walk the rows. Correct the grip and the setup, not the content, in the first minute.
Students: Work in the notebook.
Slide 18
CLOSURE
Today Launch I Do We Do Read You Do ›› Closure
“Now we closure.”

Slide 19
CLOSURE
Read the one sentence you are most sure of.
“Read the one sentence you are most sure of.”
Exit Direction. Take it from every child before anyone stands.
It belongs to today's content — it is how you know who has it.
Students: Answer, then pack away.
Slide 20
CLOSURE
Published means someone else will read it. Finish it properly.
“Published means someone else will read it. Finish it properly.”
