The 57 Bus

Teachers: Ask students to log in to Lesson Up and to take out their notebooks. Students must log in to Lesson Up using their name

Students: Start their laptops, open Lesson Up and log in with their own name

Teacher: Go around the room asking students to recap the element of reading we spoke about in Lesson 1. Ask students to talk about the unconscious reading that they did.

Students: Take part in the class discussion about the elements of reading and the unconscious reading that they have now become conscious of.

Teacher: We will start reading a book as a class soon and there are words that you might find challenging. To help you with understanding what you read. We will start with a vocabulary lesson so that when we read the book you will feel more comfortable.

Students Listen

How many of these words do you understand?

Teacher: Ask students to look at this list of 28 words and then write down the words that they know in their notebooks.

(The assumption is that most students will know a maximum of 5 of these words, as they are also out of context.)

Students: Look at the list of words and in your notebook write down the words you already know, with a short description of what they mean.

How many of the words from the previous slide do you know?

Teacher: Ask students to write down the number of words they know, not the words themselves. SO 2, or 5 etc 

The next slide will take the students to an exercise with some of these words. 

Students: write down the number of words that they know

Teacher: Let the students work through the next 3 exercises on their own. Give them 25 minutes for all 3 exercises. Exercise 4 is for students that finish earlier.

There is no timer so the teacher will be responsible for keeping an eye on the time.

1.  The first exercise is a word search, it is to get the students to be able to recognise the words, this exercise is done in app.wizer

2. The second exercise is a gap fill text with words missing. The words that are missing are not the words that they do not understand or might be difficult, this is to give the students the option to see the words in context.

3. The third exercise is a matching exercise where they can see the word and then need to match the word to the correct meaning.

4. This last exercise is a challenge for the students that are a little faster. In this differentiation exercise the students will see pictures and they need to write the word that belongs to the picture.

Students: Work in their own pace on the exercises, if they are faster than the rest they can do exercise 4. If not they can do exercise 1,2 and 3. They have 25 minutes for these exercises
