Spell the days of the week Maggie Harnew. May 2008 This Power. Point (PPT) demonstrates the use of ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check’ to learn spellings. For more details please read Days of the week ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check’ Activities at www. skillsworkshop. org/e 1 lit/m 8 e 1 lscwcdaysohp. pdf (this PDF has extensive teaching notes, plus a hard copy adaptation of this PPT use in classrooms with no PPT facilities). This PPT makes a good accompaniment to Andrew Speers’ “Days of the Week” plan / resources available in the Milestone 8 / E 1 Lit area of www. skillsworkshop. org/e 1 lit/m 8 e 1 daysofweek. pdf Andrew’s resource also includes more details about the pictures of Monandaeg, Tyr, Wodan, Thor, Frigg, Saturn and Sun (these pictures can be deleted if discussion about word origins is not needed). TIPS • Do not delete or move entire slides - this will affect the logical order and look / cover buttons. • Use a mouse to navigate from one slide to another (do not use Enter key as this just takes you sequentially from slide 1 to slide 23). DIFFERENTIATION • You can edit this PPT to include any 7 words of your choice. (Take care if adding extra slides though - you will then need to add or edit the action buttons and hyperlinks). • For pre. Entry – focus on just one or two words per session. • The ‘Word origin’ pictures make useful memory prompts for some (E. g. Thursday – Thor – thunder) and interesting background information for students at any level. TO USE • Display word. Read word. Talk about word origin (if appropriate for group). Look at word. What do you notice? What stands out? Shape? Syllables? Words within words? Which bits are tricky? • Click on word to split up into parts (in colour). • Look again, say word as a group. • Click ‘Cover’ button. Students to write word on small whiteboards or paper. • Click ‘Show’. Students to check word. • Repeat as needed. Main curriculum links Entry 1.
