Core Rules of Spanish · Annual Plan

Warm-up Activity

teach

Retrieval, not new learning.

  • Four quick recall items from the previous subtopic.
  • Students answer on whiteboards; you scan for the reteach decision.

Hook Activity

teach

Creates the need for the new idea.

  • A short scenario where core rules of spanish is the only thing that resolves the problem.
  • Two predictions taken by cold call before any teaching.

Introduction

teach

Objectives, criteria and the shape of the lesson.

  • Share the objectives and success criteria on the board.
  • Students copy the criteria into their books for self-marking later.

Direct Instruction

teach

I do — narrated worked examples.

  • Model one full example, thinking aloud at each decision point.
  • Model a second example with a deliberate error for students to catch.

Guided Practice

teach

We do — the pivot point of the lesson.

  • Work the first two items together with whole-class checking.
  • Release gradually; circulate and live-mark rather than sit down.

Core Rules of Spanish · Annual Plan

Collaborative Activity

teach

Structured talk with defined roles.

  • Pairs: one solves, one questions the method, then swap.
  • Each pair produces one agreed justification to share.

Hands-on Activity

teach

Concrete or pictorial representation of the same idea.

  • Manipulatives, card sorts or a short practical linked only to this subtopic.
  • Bridge explicitly back to the abstract notation before moving on.

Independent Practice

teach

You do — silent, unsupported, diagnostic.

  • Students complete the Core Rules of Spanish worksheet section without help.
  • No teacher talk; note who needs the support pack tomorrow.

Differentiation

support

Three parallel tracks on the same objective.

  • Support: extra worked example, reduced numbers, sentence stems.
  • Core: the standard sequence with success criteria displayed.
  • Stretch: justification-only questions and an open-ended extension.
  • SEND/EAL: vocabulary cards, dual coding and extra processing time.

Assessment During Lesson

support

Formative checks tied to each phase.

  • Whiteboard show-me after direct instruction.
  • Live marking during guided practice.
  • Book scan during independent practice.
  • Exit ticket sorted into secure / developing / reteach.
