Week Three Outline

Students will be given a new set of spelling words
for the next two weeks. These will expand their word
recognition within a social context.
Students in pairs match the spelling words with
the appropriate cards which have a simple text
definition.

Wednesday (half hour session)
This activity is one that will highlight the
importance of description to achieve an outcome.
These 'Spot the Difference' Activities will require
students in pairs to describe a scene, only they can
see, in detail.
This example of a barrier game will emphasize the need
for students to be explicit in their oral descriptions
so that together they can identify visual differences.
The use of the internet as a learning tool allows
students to explore different visual mediums.
Hence, one child uses the image on the computer
for their focus, while another uses the attached
resource cards for the appropriate levels.
The students will progress from levels one to three
in this session, with each child having the opportunity to use the
internet as their visual focus.
These 'Spot the Differences' Activities can be found here:
Spot the Difference-Level One
Spot the Difference-Level Two
Spot the Difference-Level Three
Friday (half hour session)
In this session, the students in pairs, will be
exploring Barrier Game One-"The Road Scene" to
develop the concept of description and utilise
their new word bank.
As you will see in our attached resources package,
this scene depicts many facets of their own real
life experience and will enable the teacher to
assess how well the students have comprehended the meaning of
their week three spelling words.
Each student will be given a board with "The Road
Scene" on it. One will have a completed scene, while
the other child will have an incomplete scene, with
the missing cut outs separate. Through description,
the child with the incomplete board will select one
cut out and describe it so that the child with the
complete board, can find it in the scene. Once that
child has found it, he/she must describe where the
cutout must be stuck so that eventually, their boards
will look the same.
