Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work

Content Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide teachers with support and information on planning, creating and delivering their lessons throughout the year.
Teachers will need to refer to this document when planning and delivering their textbook-based lessons and creating their own non-textbook-based
lessons.

The Scheme of Work is divided into sections which provide the following information and content:

1. Content and organisation of the Scheme of Work

This section provides teachers with an introduction to the Scheme of Work and an explanation of how the textbook-based lessons and the non-
textbook-based lessons are organised within the Scheme of Work.

2. Supporting information

This section provides teachers with an explanation of the information contained within the Scheme of Work template. This section also gives teachers
advice on completing the Scheme of Work template for their own non-textbook-based lessons.

3. Differentiation strategies for secondary pupils

This section provides teachers with a number of suggested differentiation strategies that teachers may wish to use in their planning to help meet the
needs of the pupils in their class.

4. Glossary of terms in the Form 4 Curriculum Framework

Teachers should refer to the Content and Learning Standards contained within the Scheme of Work. These Content and Learning Standards come from
the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the Curriculum Framework document.

This section provides teachers with supporting explanations for some of these Content and Learning Standards. It also provides explanations of important
terms used in some of the lessons. These terms are mainly found in the Learning Outline section (see the first table in the Glossary of Terms).

5. Scheme of Work (Lessons 1 – 112)

This is the main section of the Scheme of Work. It provides teachers with details for the textbook-based and non-textbook-based lessons.
Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 4
7. Appendix 1: Learning Standards mapping
This section consists of a table which lists all 112 lessons in the Scheme of Work and their Learning Standards. The mapping table enables teachers to
see the coverage of the Learning Standards at a glance.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 5


1. Content and organisation of the Form 4 Scheme of Work

What is the Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work and how can it help teachers?
The Scheme of Work gives teachers an overview of every lesson in Form 4, including the Content and Learning Standards which must be covered
within each lesson. The Scheme of Work will assist teachers in their daily, weekly and long-term planning of lessons.
What does the Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work consist of?
The Scheme of Work consists of 112 lessons with each lesson lasting a total of 60 minutes. If lessons are organised into 30-minute lessons, teachers
will need to plan and adapt their lessons accordingly. Each lesson in the Scheme of Work is numbered from Lesson 1 to 112.

The Scheme of Work consists of the following two types of lesson:

A. Textbook-Based Lessons: The materials for these lessons include learning activities from the selected Form 4 textbook. This textbook is Full
Blast Plus 4 and Form 4 will cover the content from Unit 1 to Unit 8 of this textbook. All skill lessons (Reading, Writing, etc.) are textbook-based.
B. Non-Textbook-Based Lessons: For this type of lesson, teachers will be responsible for developing the lesson content and creating the
necessary learning materials. There are two main types of non-textbook-based lessons in Form 4 Scheme of Work: Literature in Action and
Project-Based Learning Lessons. Revision lessons can be based on the textbook or use additional materials according to pupils’ needs.

How are the Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work lessons organised?

Almost all the lessons in the Scheme of Work are textbook-based lessons. Skill-based lessons, Literature in Action Lessons, Revision (including
mid/end of year revision) and Project-Based Learning Lessons are organised into lesson cycles.
Typical lesson cycles
Each unit (units 1-8) of Full Blast Plus 4 provides teachers with enough materials for 8 skill-based lessons and 2 Language Awareness lessons. Each
unit contains two Revision lessons to allow teachers to either review and extend learning or reteach certain areas that teachers believe should be
retaught based on their observations. Mid/end of year revision lessons and Project-Based Learning lessons are also included in certain units. See the
lesson cycles in Unit 1 in the Scheme of Work as an example:

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 6


Lesson Skill/Focus
1 Reading
2 Language Awareness
3 Listening
4 Speaking
5 Writing
6 Revision
7 Reading
8 Language Awareness
9 Listening
10 Speaking
11 Writing
12 Revision
13 Literature in Action

Teachers should note the following:


1. Units 4 and 8 have a few additional lessons. These lessons are; a second Literature in Action lesson; two additional revision lessons (either Mid- or
End-of-Year revision lessons). Unit 8 also has two Project-Based Learning lessons. See Appendix 1 at the end of the Scheme of Work for an
overview of the lesson cycles and distribution.
2. Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing will mainly cover a total of two lessons (i.e. 120 minutes) in each cycle. Revision lessons can be
repurposed to help extend the time required for teaching a skill (e.g. Writing) if pupils would benefit from additional time.
3. Pupils are expected to have their own copy of the Student’s Book and use it in every lesson. Pupils should also have their own notebook and bring it
to every lesson.
4. Teachers should be able to access the Teacher’s Book for every skill-based lesson. If teachers do not have regular access to the Teacher’s
Book they should prepare a few lessons in advance while they have the Teacher’s Book. If access to the Teacher’s Book is very limited, teachers
are advised to be proactive and collaborative by planning together and consulting with the English Head or a senior English teacher at their school.
The Teacher’s Book provides a lot of guidance and ideas as well as the listening audio scripts, thus considerably saving preparation time. It is
therefore very useful for all teachers to be able to access it, even if only periodically.
5. Teachers are expected to plan lessons based on the lesson outline in the Scheme of Work. They may need to develop and produce
worksheets and prepare other material and resources for some lessons.
Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 7
6. Language Awareness Lessons will focus on learning a specific grammatical structure or function (e.g. learn and review the difference between the
use of the Present Simple and Present Perfect). Teachers can cover the vocabulary sections in the Student’s Book units as part of the lessons
(Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing) if possible or as part of homework. Teachers are encouraged to complete the majority of these
vocabulary sections to help pupils practise and revise new vocabulary in the unit.
7. Pre-lesson and post-lesson stages in the lesson outline are important stages in the lesson. They should not be neglected or rushed.
8. Literature in Action (LiA): There are no specific materials in the Student’s Book to support this lesson type. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to
create their own lessons by incorporating materials from the Literature Component textbooks provided by the Ministry of Education.
9. At the end of every unit, pupils are expected to review and assess their learning in that unit. This self-assessment can be guided by using a
worksheet which identifies the language covered in the unit, what pupils learned well and what they need to focus on. Pupils can also make a note
about what they need to do in order to improve. Once completed, these self-assessment worksheets can be collected and used to identify the areas
where pupils need further assistance. They will also inform teachers on what advice they should give pupils to improve their language skills during
study time.
10. There are two lessons in unit 8 which provide teachers with the opportunity to create Project-Based Learning Lessons (PBL). This will be one project
over the two lessons. Teachers will also have the opportunity to select appropriate Content and Learning Standards for these two Project-Based
Learning lessons depending on the specific needs and interests of their pupils. These lessons are not based on the textbook.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 8


2. Scheme of Work Template: Supporting Information

1. Lesson
Each lesson within the Scheme of Work is given a number followed by the lesson type. For example: Lesson: 7 (Reading 2), Lesson:
24 (Writing 4).

2. Main Skill Focus


Each lesson will have one main skill focus. If the focus of the lesson is not on language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing), then the
main skill focus will reflect the focus area of the lesson (e.g. Language Awareness, Literature in Action, Project-Based Learning lesson).

3. Theme
The four given themes are:

 People and Culture


 Health and Environment
 Science and Technology
 Consumerism and Financial Awareness

4. Topic
Topics are taken from the associated textbook. Topics for non-textbook lessons are either guided by the Literature Component content or
decided by the teachers.

5. Cross-Curricular Elements
Each cycle of lessons has been assigned a specific Cross-Curricular Element. Teachers will need to refer to the section on the Cross Curricular
Elements in the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) for further guidance. Teachers are encouraged to link their
lesson to other Cross Curricular Elements, in addition to the suggested one given, if they identify opportunities where relevant cross-curricular
connections can be made.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 9


6. Language/Grammar Focus
This will be related to a grammatical structure/function (e.g. Present Simple versus Present Continuous).

7. Content Standards and Learning Standards


The given Content and Learning Standards are taken from the Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) and the
Curriculum Framework document. These should be followed as they appear in the lessons to ensure the Learning Standards are
covered as intended. See Appendix 1 for an overview of the mapping of Learning Standards.

8. Main Skill and Complementary Skill


Each lesson within the Scheme of Work focuses on one main skill and one complementary skill. To ensure that pupils receive sufficient
exposure to and practice in every Learning Standard within the Curriculum Framework, each Learning Standard appears at least once in the
Scheme of Work. Learning Standards are covered as a main skill or as a complementary skill. It is therefore critical that teachers ensure that
both the main Skill and the complementary Skill are covered in each lesson. The complementary skill is not an optional skill that can be
ignored or dropped from the lesson. Doing so may mean that pupils do not receive adequate practice in and exposure to all the given Learning
Standards within the Curriculum Framework. When teachers are planning their lessons, they must therefore ensure that both the main skill and
complementary skill are each assigned a suitable lesson Learning Objective.

Teachers should also be aware that the main skill and complementary skill are not normally given equal time and attention within the lesson.
Teachers will need to ensure that the complementary skill is covered, but the degree of attention this receives in comparison to the main skill
will be up to the teacher’s own professional judgement as they will know better the specific learning needs of their pupils.

Please note that some Learning Standards appear less frequently than others. Less frequent Learning Standards must be covered as they
appear in the Scheme of Work. See Appendix 1 for a map of the Learning Standards coverage.

9. Learning Outline
The Learning Outline provides guidance to teachers for the delivery of a lesson. Three main stages of every lesson are highlighted: Pre-lesson,
Lesson Delivery and Post-lesson. Teachers will also need to refer to the Teacher’s Book, which provides detailed information about the delivery
of the textbook activities for textbook-based-lessons.

The Lesson Delivery stage is where the main and complementary skills should be both addressed to develop pupils’ language skills. Teachers
should create their own Learning Objectives for each lesson based on the specified Learning Standards - both for the main skill and the
complementary skill. . The Learning Objectives should relate to and reflect the activities in the Lesson Delivery stage.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 10


Textbook-based lessons in the Learning Outline provide teachers with a structured description for what to cover and how to plan their lessons.
They refer to specific activities in the Student’s Book and the associated guidance available in the Teacher’s Book. Some additional explanation
or instruction may be provided in the Lesson Delivery to ensure teachers plan activities that relate to the main and complementary Learning
Standards specified for the lesson. Please note that textbook-based activities may not appear in the same order as in the Student’s and
Teacher’s Book. This is to ensure the best activities are selected for the stated Learning Standards and to follow the lessons cycle (Reading,
Language Awareness, etc.).

As teachers are working with pupils and supporting their learning, they should be aware of their pupils’ development and the emerging
challenges. Throughout the lessons, teachers are expected to use formative assessment strategies (e.g. questioning, scanning) to assess
pupils’ progress and give clear and meaningful feedback. This feedback should enable pupils to understand which areas they need to pay
attention to and how to improve. Of course, teachers are not expected to give every pupil feedback after every activity in every lesson.
However, teachers should use all opportunities available to communicate feedback to pupils and help them take ownership of their own
learning.

Teachers are encouraged to follow the instruction in the Lesson Delivery stage when provided because it reduces lesson preparation time and
ensures the Content and Learning Standards are addressed.

Pre-lesson activities activate and review pupils’ prior knowledge by, for example, reviewing relevant learning from a previous lesson or using a
short activity as an opportunity for pupils to share what they already know about the lesson topic or language. They provide an opening to the
lesson and get pupils in the right frame of mind for hearing, reading and using English. They are often whole class activities which are fun and
engaging. Pupils are all active in these activities physically as well as mentally. This can help teachers to manage energy levels before settling
pupils into their learning.

Post-lesson activities are short activities that take place at the end of lessons to review and consolidate the learning from a lesson. Although
post-lesson activities can be fun and should not be too challenging so that pupils leave the class in a positive frame of mind, they are an
important stage that should be planned by the teachers. During the post-lesson stage, teachers can conduct a quick and informal evaluation of
the lesson and the pupils’ understanding of the learning that have taken place. Post-lesson activities can be used for formative assessment and
can give teachers an overall evaluation of the pupils’ development and indicate any issues individual pupils might have. Evaluating learning in
the post-lesson stage is particularly useful when new language is introduced for the first time or followed up from a previous lesson. Therefore,
teachers should give careful consideration to the purpose of the post-lesson activities they choose for their lessons. Post-lesson activities are
not, therefore, optional extras to be done if there is time. Teachers should make sure to leave a few minutes for post-lesson activities, even if
they are running short of time in their main lesson stages.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 11


Each lesson includes a suggestion for Pre-lesson and Post-lesson activities in the Lesson Outline. Some of these are outlined in the Learning
Outline, and sometimes teachers are directed to the textbook. Teachers can also create their own pre- and post-lesson activities provided that
they fulfil the function described above.

10. Materials / References


The relevant page numbers of the Student’s Book and Teacher’s Book have been given for the textbook-based lessons.

11. Differentiation Strategies


This column refers to section 3, Differentiation strategies for secondary pupils, which lists eight strategies. It sometimes provides advice tailored
around the lesson specifics and expected challenges. Teachers should, however, consider the most suitable strategies for differentiating
learning with each of their own individual classes, based on the learning needs of the pupils in those classes.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 12


3. Differentiation strategies for Secondary pupils

Strategy 1: Differentiate by instruction and feedback


Use classroom management techniques to support differentiation.
1. Ensure that pupils who are finding particular tasks in English challenging still have a chance to contribute in class in order to develop
their confidence. You can do this in a number of ways. The following are a few examples:
i) Ask them to read instructions aloud.
ii) Monitor and check that pupils having difficulty with the task have completed the first few questions correctly and when going through
feedback with the whole class, choose them to answer the first one or two questions which you know they have done correctly.
iii) Prompt and support during group work if a pupil is having difficulty with the task or does not feel confident enough then indicate and
praise them when they have done well. When you check answers with the whole group you will then ask them to do the question
you have just seen them answer.
iv) Choose them to be ‘group leaders’ for games or activities, e.g. count the points for team games, ensuring the group completes the work.
v) Choose them to ‘report back’ after group work – this means they will repeat what the group has done even if they did not come up
with ideas themselves.
vi) Ask them to take responsibility for classroom tasks, e.g. helping hand out copies so they are involved even if they are struggling with
questions.
vii) Ask them to write answers up on the board while other pupils call out the answers.
2. Before checking answers with the whole group, always allow pupils to do a peer check (comparing their answers in pairs or small groups).
This encourages confidence, as there is a shared responsibility for any errors. It also allows peer to peer teaching – some pupils can
clarify and those struggling with the tasks will gain extension support.
3. When getting feedback, do not go around the class picking pupils in order. Ask pupils randomly (making a note if it helps to ensure you ask
different pupils each time over a few lessons). Choose the respondent according to the level of the task and what you know about your
pupils.
4. Monitor closely – this will allow you to check that everyone has understood and is doing the task successfully and to provide extension
questions to those finding the task easy.
5. Always do an example for each task. This provides a clear instruction for everybody. Those finding the task easy can help supply the
example to increase the challenge.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 13


Strategy 2: Differentiate by the task pupils are given
It is possible to use the same source material and expected outcomes but to adapt and differentiate the way the task works for pupils. This
takes slightly more preparation for the teacher but the tasks can often be reused for more than one class.
Examples of task differentiation include the following:

i) Give pupils standard ‘gap fill’ tasks but add in multiple-choice options for the less proficient pupils. For example:
 I 1._____ (think) that identical twins are fascinating. They 2.______ (have) the same DNA, but they…
 I 1. think/am thinking that identical twins are fascinating. They 2. have/are having the same DNA, but they…
ii) For grammar analysis boxes where the use of a grammar form has to be completed or matched to a reason , give the activity as it is to all
pupils but give the correct answers to less proficient pupils and add additional, clear examples that they match to the analysis. Give more
proficient pupils sentence writing, e.g. requiring them to write new sentences based on the prompts a-d (habits, scientific facts, etc.) using
the present simple.
iii) For activities involving filling in a table or categorising, add some items into the table in advance for less proficient pupils but leave
other pupils to do all the items themselves, and add some additional items for more proficient pupils.
iv) For a standard writing activity, pupils write an email using the prompts provided but give less proficient pupils a skeleton or an outline to help
them organise their ideas. Ask more proficient pupils to write responses to other proficient pupils’ emails.
Sometimes, you can also give different tasks to more proficient and less proficient groups of pupils according to their needs and interests: see
strategy 6 for more on this.
Another way to differentiate by task, if using the same task for the whole class, is to include some open-ended items which allow for a large
number of correct responses. This can vary in terms of the amount pupils produce or the complexity of their answers.
Tasks might include:
 brainstorming lists
 creating mind maps
 thinking of examples
 playing games requiring personalised answers, e.g. about their families / favourite food
 doing a presentation of information

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 14


Open-ended discussion tasks (e.g. Tell me about life in cities and life in the country, or What will happen next?) allow more proficient pupils to
contribute with more unusual words, more complex language, or more original ideas.
Project work is particularly good for differentiating tasks. You can give slightly different tasks to less and more proficient pupils, e.g. a stronger
group may be asked to create a booklet and presentation on historical places in Malaysia; less proficient pupils might be asked to create the
same for one historical place. (See also additional ideas in Strategy 4).

Strategy 3: Differentiate by the type and amount of support provided


The teacher can support pupils to understand and use language with:
i) your own ‘teacher talk’ (e.g. ‘Look at the words in the box. Which one is a number?’)
ii) with gestures or mime
iii) utilising more proficient pupils to reinforce, e.g. you set an instruction or clarify a new word - to check the instruction or reinforce the
word, then choose a more proficient pupil to repeat or explain again. This will encourage more proficient pupils to produce language and
add challenge for them and the repetition will also support less proficient pupils.
iv) with visuals (e.g. flashcards on the board to help pupils understand or use vocabulary),
v) with written words (e.g. written words on a worksheet to help pupils with spelling)
vi) when giving tasks, have two worksheets – add in a clarification of important and/or difficult vocabulary in basic English or mother tongue.
vii) where pupils are doing project work, encourage more proficient pupils to do more, e.g. research content themselves. Support less proficient
pupils with input, e.g. give them handouts of information to start using rather than expect them to find this themselves.
Different types and amount of support can be given to less proficient pupils, depending on their needs, or can be used to provide
extension challenge for more proficient pupils.

Strategy 4: Differentiate by the outcome expected from pupils


You may expect more language from some pupils, and less from others. The main aim is that every pupil says or writes something, so that they
feel successful. Four useful strategies here are:
i. Compulsory plus optional
Here, you set pupils targets such as, With your partner, write 2 sentences or more, or In your group use two new words. The minimum target (2
sentences, 2 new words) is compulsory, and everyone needs to achieve this to be successful. But the ‘or more’ is optional, and gives a chance for
more proficient pupils to challenge themselves. Some pupils will stop at the minimum target at first, but with more practice, they will soon get the
idea of going beyond the minimum target. This can be simple, e.g. ‘There are 10 true and false questions for the reading.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 15


You have 5 minutes. You must do 5 questions – you can choose any 5. If you have time you can do more.’ This will allow pupils to do more
or less and also to choose the questions they find easiest.
ii. Remember and share
If pupils are asked to remember and share, they have to tell you words or ideas they learned in a previous lesson or task. (E.g. Look at the
classroom objects on my table. In one minute, I’ll cover them… Now, share with your group what you remember and then tell me). This task
allows all pupils to make successful contributions.
iii. Add on
Monitor during tasks, e.g. reading or listening questions. Where pupils have done well, have a few extension questions to hand and ask
them. Alternatively ask them to rewrite sentences or think of their own additional questions to ask other more proficient pupils.
iv. Project outcome
If pupils are doing project work, encourage more proficient pupils to do more – either produce a greater quantity of output or produce more
complex outcomes. For example, if pupils are doing a project on the environment, more proficient pupils can research and produce a written
report and do a class presentation; less proficient pupils can be given materials to use for ideas and produce a short illustrated summary
only.

Strategy 5: Differentiate by the time pupils are given to complete a task.


Some pupils need longer than others to complete tasks, especially when writing is involved. When it’s appropriate, these pupils should be given
a little more time to finish. Extension tasks for pupils who complete the task early should also be provided (e.g. Write three more sentences
using the same new words; Label the picture in the textbook and check any you don’t know in the dictionary; Talk with your friend in English:
You choose what to talk about).
If pupils are doing group work, match fast finishers with other fast finishers to do additional work, e.g. Think of three more questions and
ask your new partner.
Rewarding fast finishers with something ‘fun’ to do (such as playing a game or using digital applications) should be avoided, as this will
encourage pupils to work quickly, rather than to work carefully at their own speed. Extension tasks should extend and enrich learning.

Strategy 6: Differentiate by supporting individual learning preferences and needs


When appropriate, you can support preferences by letting pupils make choices about what they do and how they do it. Sometimes, for
example, pupils decide for themselves which tasks they want to do (e.g. the type of writing task they complete or a revision game), depending
on the ways they prefer to learn or topics they find interesting.

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 16


Different pairings and groupings will allow pupils to work in different ways – you can sometimes pair up pupils who can help and support
each other (e.g. one who can write and one who cannot yet write well) or who enjoy working together. It is good to avoid grouping more
proficient pupils and less proficient pupils together all the time. Vary the interactions as this will allow all pupils to benefit from different
dynamics. Sometimes you might want to mix girls and boys, or have single-sex pairs/groups.
In some tasks, pupils can be assigned different roles to do, for example a group manager, writer or artist. You should make sure to vary
pairing and grouping over time.
You can support needs by setting individual tasks and targets for pupils based on assessment. This works well for reading and writing work in
particular. For example, you might decide on a writing target for each child; if a pupil is not yet a proficient writer, you can provide them with
different tasks from those pupils who can already write effectively. If a few pupils are proficient writers, they could be given extension tasks. For
reading, pupils can be encouraged to keep a reading log (including notes on what they have read, the content of the text, whether they enjoyed
it or not etc.). This works well as more proficient pupils can include much more detail and record greater numbers of texts.

Strategy 7: Differentiate by the types of question asked


Closed questions are questions in which the choice of possible answers is very limited. They often involve very short responses. Open
questions usually have more possible answers, and longer responses. Asking closed questions to less proficient pupils (e.g. Why did
dinosaurs die? A disease or a natural disaster?) gives them a chance to produce accurate answers, as they are usually easier to answer than
open questions.
Asking open questions to more proficient pupils (e.g. What should we do if there was a natural disaster like a flood?) provides extension
challenge. As less proficient pupils grow in confidence and competence, you can ask them more open questions. Sometimes there are also good
reasons for asking more proficient pupils easier questions, as this involves them in the lesson and can help the pace of the lesson too.

Strategy 8: Differentiate by the feedback given


Feedback given to pupils should be varied according to their ability to act on the feedback. For example, if a pupil who is currently less proficient
at writing has tried hard and produces work with a number of misspellings, feedback can be given on what they did well, and only 1 – 3
misspellings of common or important words highlighted. The pupil should respond to this feedback because the suggested improvement is
achievable for them. If a more proficient pupil writes well and makes 2 misspellings, you can tell them the lines in which the misspellings are,
and ask them to find and correct them.
You can use a correction code for written tasks, e.g. have a set of symbols or letters which identify errors (T - mistake with tense; Sp - mistake
with spelling, WW – mistake with word choice etc.). More proficient pupils could use the correction key and find their errors. These pupils should

Secondary Form 4 Scheme of Work 17


be able to respond to the extension challenge built into this feedback. The same principle could also apply to giving feedback on pupils’
speaking.
Summary
It is extremely important that teachers are aware that a pupil’s proficiency in English is not fixed and because a pupil is currently less proficient
in English, this does not mean in any way that this will remain true throughout a pupil’s secondary education. It is important that all pupils are
challenged and given equal opportunity to develop over time. There has been a considerable amount of research recently into the subject of the
‘growth mind set’ which looks at, amongst other things, how teacher feedback can impact on a pupil’s development over time. Further
information on the ‘growth mind set’ can be found at: https://www.mindsetworks.com/science/

fast finishers Pupils who are able to work at a faster pace on a specific activity than the majority of pupils in a class. They are therefore ready
to move on to the next activity sooner than the majority of pupils.

peer-assessment Involving pupils in the process of assessment by asking pupils to give feedback to a peer on specific aspects of their learning,
such as a specific aspect of the quality of a piece of work. For example, when a pupil gives feedback to another pupil on an
aspect of their learning, the feedback takes the form of two things that were good (stars) and one area for improvement (wish).

post-lesson Activity at the end of a lesson to review and consolidate the learning.

pre-lesson Activity at the beginning of a lesson to activate pupils’ prior knowledge.

prior knowledge Knowledge and skills which pupils already have, possibly acquired from previous lessons or previous years.

probing questions Questions that aim to dig deeper than the surface (e.g. Is there a different way to say the same thing? / What would you say
instead (of…)? / Does anyone agree/disagree with that? Why?)

self-assessment Involving pupils in the process of assessment by asking pupils to self-assess specific aspects of their learning. For example,
learning diaries kept by pupils can reveal areas that need clarification or specific skills that need further development

talk partners Providing pupils with an opportunity to talk through their ideas with a partner or in a small group. When teachers give pupils time
to discuss their ideas with a partner or in a small group, they can assume that everyone in the class is ready to provide an
answer.

wait time The time given between asking a question and expecting a response to it.

that are fun. For example, if appropriate, remind pupils of the story
you created in the previous post-lesson Language Awareness
(lesson 96 LA 15). Use the same story or create another one (about
(an)other pupil(s) in the class, if appropriate). Then ask pupils to
make up ‘wish / if only’ sentences relating to the story. For example,
if only Aiden’s alarm clock had gone off on time / if only Aiden hadn’t
tripped running for the bus / Aiden wished he lived closer to the
school.

Post-lesson
Ask pupils to think of three things they would change about their
past if they could and make up sentences about those things using ‘I
wish’ or ‘if only’. For example, I wish I had learnt to play the piano / If
only I hadn’t volunteered to help my brother with his homework.
When ready, collect pupils’ responses to share with the class.
