1. The 'perfect' lesson
Every lesson needs an aim, objectives (know/understand/Be able to) and outcome
Aim = what you're going to do in the lesson.
e.g. To study World War One literature
Objective = Know - what happens in the poem
Outcomes = How you are going to do it.
e.g. Annotate a poem identifying poetic devices & references to WW1

2. However...
All students must achieve something in the lesson
therefore the outcomes need to be differentiated into categories
& levelled for the task with national curriculum levels...  
e.g
P pass - Annotate a poem identifying references to WW1 = Level 4
pass - Annotate a poem identifying poetic devices & references
to WW1 = Level 5
merit - Annotate a poem identifying poetic devices & references
to WW1 & explain the effect of techniques on the reader = Level 6
Distinction - Annotate a poem identifying poetic devices & references
to WW1 & explain the effect of techniques on the reader
AND COMMENT ON WHY THE WRITER USED THEM = Level 7

3. Task: P pass - Will be able to describe using one adjective (level 4c)
Read the outcomes & the sample answer.
What level would this piece be & why?
P pass - Will be able to describe using one adjective (level 4c)
Pass - Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3 & adverbs (level 5c)
Merit - Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3, adverbs & similes (level 6c)
Distinction- Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3, adverbs, similes & REFER TO THE 5 SENSES (level 7)

4. Tony Blair is sporting a new, crisp, black suit. He is talking
Adjective = describe
P pass - Will be able to describe using one adjective (level 4c)
Pattern of 3 = 3 describing words
Pass - Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3 & adverbs (level 5c)
Adverbs = describe how you do
something
Merit- Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3, adverbs & similes (level 6c)
Simile = compares one object to
another with the word
'like' or 'as'
Distinction - Will be able to describe
using a pattern of 3, adverbs,
similes & REFER TO THE
5 SENSES
Personification = an object does a human action / has a human feeling
Example:
Tony Blair is sporting a new, crisp, black suit. He is talking
pleadingly to the nation. He is known for being an inspirational
leader of the Labour Party.

5. It's your turn!!! Adjective = describe
Pattern of 3 = 3 describing words
Adverbs = describe how you do
something
Simile = compares one object to
another with the word
'like' or 'as'
P pass- Will be able to describe using one adjective (level 4c)
Pass - Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3 & adverbs (level 5c)
G&T - Will be able to describe using
personification
Merit - Will be able to describe using a pattern of 3, adverbs & similes (level 6c)
Distinction - Will be able to describe using
a pattern of 3, adverbs, similes
& REFER TO THE 5 SENSES

6. Padlet – easy way to show what the students have learnt
Padlet – easy way to show what the students have learnt. If you’ve not used it, ask and we have time to got through it.

7. Socrative – Quiz to see how students are progressing in your lesson
Socrative – Quiz to see how students are progressing in your lesson. If you are unsure how to use it, ask as we have time to go through it.

8. Behaviour strategies.
Using pupils to reward others

9. Use students to:
Award achievement points in your lesson.
Allow them to circulate to justify their decisions based on:
behaviour/ attitude to learning
the work produced.
Report back with their decisions
& nominate the next person to
award the achievement points.

10. Further development
Use in group work, where each group
nominates which member they think
deserves the achievement points and
justify their decision.
As a result of justifying their
decisions, students’ reasoning
skills improve and this can be
applied to their written work.

11. Now it’s your turn! Spend some time planning some quick tasks that check progress in lessons or make AfL fun in class.
