Instructions
The Powerpoint presentation has descriptions of Wncwl Em and Siân.
Each subsequent page highlights four descriptive statements for each type of individual description. The children have to choose the correct statement. A correct statement leads to a correct reply and an incorrect statement leads to an incorrect statement. The children should continue until the correct statement is viewed. The activity should be continued until
full completion.
The activity helps to reinforce their knowledge and understanding of the descriptions and to support the main story itself.
The presentation can be used with a whole class, small groups or on an individual basis. If the children are completing the activity individually assessment procedures can be used to assess their understanding.
The presentation can be used successfully on individual computers or on an interactive whiteboard.
The book icon at the top of each page leads to a dictionary of the more difficult words. This can offer support to lower ability children or as a general support when making statement choices. Please note that the dictionary for Siân is separate from that of Wncwl Em.
Images have been included to support the children’s understanding and as a means of broaden the flexibility of the presentation. If used on a interactive whiteboard children and teacher can discuss each set of statements, using the image presented, as a reference source and then children can visit the whiteboard and make their choice.
Apart from the usual method of moving through the presentation arrows have been placed on each page. This offers the presenter or children the option of moving backwards or forwards. For Example, to discuss vocabulary, compare descriptions or make a specific point from a previous page.
