Another interview one y5

[namechangedyetagain]

Any ideas for a y5 lesson (30 min) on ambiguity or modal verbs that is engaging?

Way out of my depth here. Should I email and ask what they've already covered? Any wow ideas?

This day looks grueling. Lesson, 2 written tasks, book look and an interview. Not at all confident with UKS2. It's advertised as a ks2 job.

Thank you

Is that the norm where you are for just bog-standard teaching role interviews? I've only done one like that for head of KS2. Classroom teacher interviews have always been lesson + interview for me. It'd make me wary about how many observations, book scrutinies etc they'd do if you got the job.

Have had 2 interviews this far (3 if you count current job).
This round it has been:
1 written task, teaching obs, school Council interview, slt and governors interview

1. Observation in own class, teaching obs and then interview

So slightly more lengthy but not had enough experience to judge really. Yes just a normal teaching post. Good question to ask about observation timetable etc

My suggestion for modal verbs would be to start with asking the children to write what modal verbs they know on whiteboards - so you're assessing what they know already. Then give each group a roll of masking tape to make a possibility line on their table or along the floor of the room. Have an envelope for each group with modal verbs cards prepared and the task would be to order the modal verbs in order of possibility from definitely not to definitely and in discussion draw out the understanding of the different meanings. Maybe extend with children writing sentence examples on whiteboards. Finish with playing a couple of songs with lyrics up on the interactive whiteboard eg Wherever you will go by The Calling and children have to spot the modal verbs and write them on their boards.

Thank you. They've not covered modal verbs at all yet - I asked the school
Feeling quite nervous. Really want school B but don't even know if I've been sifted for interview there...
