| Slide — what is on it | What you SAY | What happens, and why |
|---|---|---|
| Slide 1 LAUNCH Writing — Day 1 | (nothing yet — this is up as they come in and settle) | Have Writing — Day 1 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 This year's page | “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 Set up the notebook to this year's standard. | “Set up the notebook to this year's standard.” | 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 has become habit no longer asks anything of the attention.” | 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
Heading, margin and three-level notes are automatic; today only confirms it. | “Heading, margin and three-level notes are automatic; today only confirms it.” | 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 shows the standard page and names what is assumed. 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
“Did any part of setting up cost me thought?” | “Here is the question we ask ourselves: “Did any part of setting up cost me thought?”” | Say it, then apply it aloud to the example already on the board.WHY IT WORKS — you will be asked: Checking correctness finds nobody in Grade 8. Checking ATTENTION finds the one or two children — usually new arrivals — for whom the page is still work, and they are spending that attention in every subject, every lesson. This is the last year we will look, so it is the last chance to catch them before high school assumes it. Students: Listen, then say the test back. |
