Students focus on oracy skills as well as literacy skills..
Resources:
A talking frame is needed to support discussion.
(This is a list of key words, sequenced in the order that students could used.)
How It Works:
The teacher provides the students with a list of key words that would be useful to use in answer to a question.
In pairs, the students then speak through their ideas, before writing a paragraph which includes the key words.
Remind them of connectives and the punctuation pyramid, sentence types and so on.
A great way to support students in their use of subject specific terminology.
For example, get students to use key Food Technology words when explaining how to make pasta sauce.
Variations:
Jumble the sequence of the words and get students to discuss the best order in which to use them.
