    This lesson plan outlines an English class for 7th year students focused on developing multi-sensory writing skills. The teacher will have students describe everyday objects using all five senses to bring the objects to life. Students will then practice this by having objects placed before them while blindfolded and writing descriptions. Finally, students will work in pairs challenging each other to describe random objects using sensory details without stating what the object is. The goal is to improve students' writing from level 5 to level 6 on the assessment framework.

    Specific focus of lesson

    To develop written descriptions so that they
    Are multi-sensory: moving towards Level 6
    AF1 (writing is imaginative)

    Cross-curricular links (eg. Literacy, numeracy,
    ICT/ citizenship/ enterprise/ work related learning)

    - Art (alternative perspectives)
    - Developing explanations




    Learning objectives what I want students to learn

    - WALT:
    - Students will expand on their descriptions to
    include all 5 senses
    - Develop their imaginations to see
    mundane/everyday things in a new light
    - WILF:
    - Students will show evidence of level 6 writing and
    a more cerebral/alternative approach to creative
    writing not just saying what things are but
    showing what they are bringing them to life!!
    Safety:
    Teacher will use a scissors to
    exemplify a point he will take great
    care with this and they will be placed
    back in the drawer at the end.
    -Students will be blindfolded teacher
    will ensure that none are
    claustrophobic before starting.
    -Allergies; children may be tasting
    food ... teacher will check that
    students have no allergies
    Resources:
    -Scissors
    -Sensory language ppnt
    -Blindfold
    -Objects / Food


    Teaching strategies/activities (How to achieve learning objectives)

    -Beginning (4 mins)
    -Register completed before students go to assembly
    -Students enter classroom quietly and read silently until everyone has returned from
    assembly.
    -Teacher will begin by asking students to describe an object in his hand (blue scissors)
    -Students will most likely describe object as Scissors that is Blue!!
    -Teacher will bring scissors to life... students will be scared...
    -Teacher will explain objective of lesson (AF1 L5 to L6) students note in books.

    -Starter (5 mins)
    -Students will then look at two short pieces of writing and grade each using the criteria in
    front of them from their learning objective.
    -Students will discuss in pairs their thoughts then teacher will consolidate learning as they
    feed back.
    -Teacher will guide students towards the fact that the second extract uses.... Sensory
    Language its important that students see this for themselves and that they arrive at the
    lessons key word / skill.
    -Teacher will check students knowledge of all five senses.


    -Main (5 mins)
    -Teacher will then request volunteer to step forward ...(SAFETY CHECKS CARRIED
    OUT; CLAUSTROPHOBIC / ALLERGIES etc)
    -Student will be blindfolded teacher does not explain task to build up suspense
    -Teacher will then explain to the rest of the class and the volunteer that the student will
    have a number of objects placed before them to either touch / taste / smell / hear etc
    -Taking away their sight should force them to focus more on their other senses; its
    essential that the teacher stress its not about guessing what the object/food is but to
    describe it vividly using similes etc.
    -While this is happening students will right down their own words/vocab/expressions etc to
    describe the object

    -Mini-Plenary / Feedback (1 mins) : Class will then volunteer their suggestions to the top
    of the class so that teacher can check understanding and clarity before moving on to the
    next part.

    Development (1 min)
    - Teacher will briefly show two images that could be described unimaginatively as just a
    slice of cake and a toilet students will be briefly challenged to suggest otherwise!! (IF
    TIME)

    Plenary / Feedback- ( 10 mins)
    -Students will now work in pairs to challenge each other. Students will think of a random
    object and will not be able to tell their partner what it is but will have to use as many
    senses/ similes to describe what it is like etc.
    -Example: It feels hot to touch and smells...
    -Teacher will then ask for some examples to consolidate learning and check whether
    students have grasped the L.O. through a traffic lit show of hands.

    THROUGHOUT TEACHER WILL BE USING DISCURSIVE FEEDBACK TO INSTANTLY
    GRADE STUDENTS AND SET TARGETS FOR IMPROVEMENT - OFTEN ASKING
    OTHER STUDENTS FOR SUPPORT>

    KEY WORDS FOR LITERACY:
    -MULTI-SENSORY
    -SIMILE



    Homework: For homework, students must create a Sensory Diary of their weekend.

    Method of evaluation of learning objectives (consolidation)
    -Through feedback / discussion
    -Through moving through the room, listening to examples , levelling etc.
