The pupils have completed many assessments and recap sessions on the topic of Moses The pupils have watched video clips and heard songs related to the story They all should have some understanding of the story but some pupils may find it difficult to piece all the events together in one assessment.
TEACHER ACTIVITIES: What activities will I use to facilitate the teaching of EACH Key Concept? How much time for each activity?
Key Concept 1: Piecing together the story of Moses and the Israelites (40mins) I will ask questions orally to see if the children have understood what they have read in the extracts, seen in video clips, heard in conversations and listened to in songs. I will use the literacy props to assist weaker pupils who find large volumes of information hard to process. I will also take this opportunity to ask the pupils where can they see themselves in the story and relate it to their lives. The pupil will then be handed out five rounds of questions. Before each round I will explain the directions, read through the questions orally ask if everyone understands and then get the pupils to complete the assessment activity.

______________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. DIFFERENTIATION: How will I differentiate the content knowledge of this lesson so as to include all learners in a mixed ability class?
o Having spent time learning about the pupils I was aware the level of literacy for some pupils needed some attention in order to fully understand concept and for learning to take place. With this in mind I differentiated content and took time with pupils to identify words by using literacy aids. o I will use different methods of assessing pupils in the table quiz from filling in blanks, matching exercise to cloze sections. This will allow differentiation during team answers and hopefully engage all learners. o o I will also assist weaker students with Helping Hand time for further Understanding.

LITERACY & NUMERACY: What are the essential aspects of literacy/numeracy in this lesson?
I am putting into action an assessment for both content understanding and to raise the level of literacy. The pupils are been assessed both on numerics and literacy and I am hoping that this will assist in the quest to raise literacy levels.
