Each lesson includes two retrieval tasks, clear sharable lesson objectives, DNA (do now activities) and a Teacher narration slide as standard. There are embedded GIF’s (7 second animations) that demonstrate each principle. This supports all learners to make progress no matter what stage they are at and frees the teacher up to better support.

The file sizes for each lesson are big due to the inclusion of embedded videos and GIF’s. As a result, they cannot be uploaded to TES directly. I have included a PDF version of the PowerPoint for instant download, a sample of the PowerPoint and a link to the OneDrive file where you can download the full resource and files required to deliver the project.

If you like what I have produced for this project please check out my other resources, they all follow a similar structure with a consistent design layout.
