Set Induction (Engagement Story)
Teacher tells a short story:
“Last week, Tolu opened her English notebook and smiled. She said, ‘Wow! I can read, spell, and even use full stops!’ Her friend Musa nodded and said, ‘Let’s see how much we remember from all our lessons!’ Today, just like Tolu and Musa, we’ll look back and see how much we’ve grown this term!”
Entry Behaviour
Pupils have learned several English Studies topics in previous weeks such as phonics, reading comprehension, synonyms, antonyms, and punctuation marks.
