Hi,
I'm an NQT and currently preparing my interview lesson for a maternity cover post. It's for year 5/6 but the objective for the lesson is a passive verbs which only occurs in the year 6 curriculum.
Would you;
a) Teach all the children this skill and differentiate their task.
b) Give a completely different LO for year 5 related to word function e.g. finding the verb and the subject and noting whether it's the agent of the verb performing the action or not.
At the minute I'm thinking of teaching the class as a whole and doing a shared sentence analysis with examples. Then having the year 6 move through an editing task and then creating their own sentences in the passive voice whilst the year 5 identify passive sentences in a text.
Although I've taught quite a few mixed age classes on supply I've generally just taught the same SPAG to both ages and just differentiated the level of understanding I expect by age. However this topic is so definitely just in the year 6 curriculum I'm not sure which way to go.
TIA and sorry for the long post!
