 * =  || I came across the idea for this activity during the ETTO course. The one of the important questions for me was if students should write Ukrainian-English dictations. From that time I've been trying to avoid the traditional dictations. But sometimes I need to check the spelling and use other ways to do it. This course section inspired me to integrate PPPs and dictations into one activity.

PowerPoint Dictation Topic: any Aim: to check vocabulary(spelling) Materials: projector, PPP on vocabulary, worksheets Notes on PPP: the text on studied topic with some pictures substituting the goal words. The pictures should be numbered and substituted by words on clicks. The number of words --not more than 10 (for primary), 15 (for secondary). Outline 1.Adjust the text to fit the screen. It'll be better for primary students to see the whole text. 2.Work through the PPPs with whole class quickly. Elicit the goal words instead of pictures, work on pronunciation. The spelling aloud is possible. Click on the picture to see what word appears, comment on students answers. 3. Now screen the PPP with pictures not words again. 4. Ask your students to write words according to the numbers of pictures into their exercisebooks. 5.After finishing you can collect papers. Another good way is to allow students to check themselves or their classmates. In this case screen the slide with words not pictures.

It'll be exciting if some animation to the pictures can be applied, especially when the students spell the word correctly.

Students like such dictations more, because they have visual support. I have also heard the opinion that English-Ukrainian translation should be avoided if possible.

 * =  || Nataly! I like your lesson idea and the way of checking spelling you've suggested.As the English spelling is quite difficult and the dictations are so boring.

 * =  || The PPP idea instead of boring dictations is great! Thanks Nataly! I will try it as soon as possible!

 * =  || **//Topic//**: any


 * //Level://** Primary


 * //Aim//**: to teach new words, to develop reading skills


 * //Materials//**: projector, PPPresentation

Note: You can use any images, words or sounds according to your topic.


 * //Outline//**

1. Show pupils the image on the screen. Name the image (use different options on how to demonstrate the images in PP every time you name the image). Demonstrate the sound, if possible, for example, how the dog barks. Name the image again and ask your pupils to repeat after you, exactly like you do (silently, loudly, like mice, like bears, barking + the name of the image, etc.).

2. Developing reading skills. Again show the image and name it. Then click and make it like under the image appear the letters of the image. Say the word by pointing to the letters. For example: a dog, d, o, g (like the sounds, not the letters), dog, a dog. Then the pupils repeat the word and every letter after the teacher. Do the same with any words you want.

3. After learning the words, the images, and reading the words click on the next page and ask your pupils to match the words with the images (use the Felt Tip Pen option).

At the end of the lesson your pupils will be able to read, even at the first lesson.

 * =  || Dear Ladies!

= “Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” = How about the 'show' and 'involve' stages, just the way Miroslava did?

If, instead of trying to put in words the activities with Word and PP, each of us could just upload the product, we would have created an activity bank for us to draw on later in our jobs. I hope this time it is more explicit

 * =  || Dear Liudmyla, thanks for the hint. You are quite right, involvment and interaction should be included to the lesson plan. During the show we can use the text without pictures or words at first, motivating our students to make suggestions about absent pictures or words. I like Myroslava's idea about scrambled words, I think they can be used at the second stage, while pictures are being substituted by words (it's like a variant of the activity). The post-activity section( after the correction activity) can include speaking on the topic, working with synonyms/opposites to the words, writing stories similar to the text, etc.

**//Aim//**: to check spelling

**//Materials//**: projector, PPP on vocabulary There are twelve pre prepared slides that each has a bug related word of varying length and difficulty. The pupils are to write down what letter they think the missing one is before it is revealed by the spelling spider. A good way of assessing progress of the class is to use have the class hold up there answers thus giving a snapshot of your classes levels. (To change words follow these steps; –Choose a new word with 3,4,5 or 6 letters.   –Find one of the spider slides that have the same length word as your new word.   –Delete each letter and write your own letters in with a ‘?’ in the space for the missing letter/s.   –Put the missing letter/s in the speech bubble at the bottom of the page.)
