In order to assist Flynn with spelling there are several activities that he could undertake. Providing
Flynn with relevant spelling words each week to assist him to build his vocabulary. Performing this
task in conjunction with dictionary work will build his understanding. These activities will lead onto
assisting building his sentence structure as Flynn uses the newly learnt words to create simple,
compound and complex sentences.
To aid with Flynns use of paragraphs when writing extended responses such as those required in
this task he could be given a scaffold or proforma that leads him to separating each new idea into an
individual paragraph.
In order to further extend his vocabulary Flynn the class could use word walls or undertake activities
on synonyms and antonyms such as a Reference Card or Vocabulary Building (Appendix Ten).
Providing Flynn with passages of text with highlighted words he can substitute synonyms or alter the
sentence and use an antonym.

It is recommended that Flynn reads more widely particularly outside his areas of interest. Flynn
should also view films outside of context on TV stations like ABC and art-house films on SBS.
In order to improve Flynns ability to develop arguments in terms of the effect and effectiveness of
poems structured analysis pieces could be presented to Flynn and then shared with peers to review
each others work.
It is important than Flynn learns how to spell the authors name correctly. This can be achieved
through further spelling and reading of text and practicing using a dictionary and thesaurus.

those required in this task. By undertaking activities that enable Riley to compare and contrast the
lives of the Egyptians to his life Riley should be able to develop a deeper understanding of ancient
Egyptian life.
Riley would also benefit from remedial and consolidating teaching and learning activities to further
improve his writing skills. He could be provided with further scaffolds to aid in his writing styles and
techniques. In order to improve his skills in writing paragraphs Riley may be provided with the
beginning sentence of a paragraph and asked to complete it. Alternatively he may be given the topic
of a sentence or sentences and asked to complete them. Riley could also be given an introduction
and conclusion and asked to complete the other paragraphs. Riley would also benefit from sentence
building activities that allow him to develop from simple to compound to then complex sentences.
This could once again be done in scaffolded form. Activities that require Riley to develop additional
verbs and adverbs such as constant use of dictionaries and thesaurus on explicit language exercised
to develop more sophisticated language. This will aid in the development of his expression and tense
accuracy when writing.

Filmstrips are an easy visual format that students can identify with. They can be used as wall
displays or a book that can be revisited after the lesson is over. Filmstrips can also be used for
guided reading and will assist in visualising, summarising and supporting oral retelling of the
depicted story.
Appendix Five: Picture Quilt
(Cameron, 2009)
Picture Quilts create an attractive display and provide a basis to compare and discuss the
similarities and differences between students visualisations.

A Photo Album reinforces the visualisation strategy by creating a class or group album of
student visualisations. These can be limited to a drawing of a character or a setting sketch of
where a part of the story took place, or more general drawing that includes both. On completion
the pictures can be used to create a wall display.

Appendix Seven:
The Story Pyramid can be used to summarise a story or a sequence of events. More advanced
students can adapt the format to develop their own.
