Teacher demonstration. Where a demonstration helps, the teacher runs it on a school approved tool, previews it first and stays in control. The deck also includes prepared examples, so the lesson does not depend on a live demonstration working on the day. No pupil accounts. More on safety

The signature activity

The class designs a picture in words, the teacher creates it with a school approved tool, and pupils compare it with their own drawings: who made which?

Learning intentions

  • I can describe a picture using words.
  • I can say who made a picture.
  • I can choose my words on purpose.

The slides

Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
