In the most basic terms, reading lessons involve a mixture of reading text and responding to it (i.e. discussing text or producing written responses).
And I think that in many (if not most) primary schools the balance between these two things is *way* off.

Added more sentence stems (with the help of Voice 21) to our oracy skills - might be helpful.

More Y8 sentence stem practise -
-one meaning behind this could be…
-we are perhaps forced to feel…
-what makes the word x especially powerful is that it…
-this reflects the idea that…
-this is important because…
-not only…but also…
Some clunkiness but much better.

I like this very much. It's a riposte to the idea of neat & tidy, scientific, simple right/wrong answers and a valuing of English for the very fact that it is complex, messy, requiring students to use their own resources to make their own sense of things!

Effects on the reader vocab - experimented last week:
1. Live model - I did some and they did some in pairs.
2. Independent application to a different question.
3. Those aiming higher embedded more sophisticated vocabulary.
4. Self-reflection.
They gave it a good go.✔️🙌🏻

@MKEteaches Breadth over depth - track through and contextualise as many quotes as possible. Analysis not needed other than basic explanations. Silly things like Lang p1 q1 should always lead with pronoun and q5 should begin with ‘I agree to an extent..’ as it is more evaluative.

Settings. Been looking at adjectives. Lesson starts with adj sort - sorting diff types of adjs (revising order of adjs). Gives ppls base vocab to start, which can be extended. Then we look at how we build these into noun phrases. Lots of mini-w work linking grammar + writing

Introducing analysis to Y8 over the last few weeks:
No need for PEEL, PEARL, etc - paired annotation work, feedback to their ‘other pair’ and transfer into extended writing with the help of tier 2 vocab’ and sentence prompts.
They’ve done such a lovely job of it.🌟
