Idea 1 - Reading Comprehension

John Murray has put together a fantastic comprehension lesson that explores the Audio Description edition of the advert to ensure the advert has a textcentric approach. Download the lesson here:
john_lewis_xmas_ad_comp.pdf
File Size: 7179 kb
File Type: pdf

Click here to download screenshots from the advert.

Idea 2 - Simple Sequencing

In this idea suited to KS1, pupils sequence the story using the creative tools within Seesaw. 

IDea 3 - Interactive Storyboard

In this idea, students share their understanding of the story by creating an interactive storyboard using the app Book Creator.

Idea 4 - Retelling the story in our own words - KS1

In this idea, we challenge students to retell the story in their own words to further practice and improve fluency and oral speaking. Aimed more at KS1 pupils, children can create a video using Shadow Puppets Edu.

Idea 5 - Retelling the story in our own words - KS2

In this idea, we look at a more challenging way for KS2 pupils to retell the story in their own words using the app Apple Clips.

idea 6 - Character Emotion Story Graph

In this video, we look at creating a graph template in Keynote before sharing it with pupils in Seesaw for them to track a character's feelings throughout the story. 

Idea 7 - Speaking in role

In this video, pupils bring the character of Skye to life and imagine what she said to her family when she got back home. Children can bring the character to life using the app Chatterpix Kids.

Idea 8 - Designing our own alien

In this video, children get the opportunity to combine some digital art with computing by manipulating shapes to create their own alien using the app Keynote.

Idea 9 - Exploring a character's thoughts

To further explore the character's in the story, pupils can take key moments from the story and add their own speech bubbles or thought bubbles using the app Balloon Stickies + app.

idea 10 - First person recount

In this video, pupils can take a first person recount of the story and perform their own writing by narrating over the video in iMovie.

idea 11 - Greenscreen News Report

Another great writing opportunity linked to the advert would be report on the events by creating a newspaper report. This video demonstrates how pupils can perform their news reports as a greenscreen video using Doink Greenscreen.

idea 12 - eyewitness interview

Linked to the previous video, students can interview a character from the story to provide an eyewitness report that can then be linked into the greenscreen news report using Animate Anything.

idea 13 - Editing our news report

Building on the previous couple of ideas, students can edit their newspaper reports together adding in titles, soundtrack and interview in iMovie.

idea 14 - creating our own soundtrack

Another creative way to explore the advert is to challenge your students to compose their own soundtrack to the advert using the app Garageband.

idea 15 - Creating our own Christmas TV Advert

Now we have explored the advert, we can challenge our pupils to script and then create their own Christmas advert with a message of the true meaning of Christmas using the app Plotagon.

idea 16 - My top 5 christmas ads

Given the amount of different Christmas adverts, a nice idea for computing would be to challenge your pupils to create their own countdown video ranking their favourite Christmas adverts using Apple Clips.

idea 17 - Where do christmas traditions come from?

In the advert we see lots of traditions being shared. In this idea, children can create a video explaining where different traditions originated from using the app Adobe Spark Video.

john murray's spelling lists

0 Comments

Read Now
 
It can be a challenge to know how many words to give your learners for their weekly spelling test and, more importantly, to decide which specific words should be tested.

Each spelling booklet seeks to address this by providing teachers with a series of weekly spellings that will support and challenge your learners. 

Laid out across seven steps, each booklet contains thirty-five spelling lists and includes a range of commonly misspelt words and spelling patterns that the proficient speller must master. 

Each list also has the opportunity to include key words from across the wider curriculum and encourages learners to reflect upon ways in which we might learn how to spell them.

Free to use across Key Stages 1-3, each booklet will support your learners as they journey towards becoming a more confident and capable speller.
