Pedagogical Guide
Objective & content
This sheet on parts of the body shows nine drawings, such as a shoulder, a knee and a chin, each with its name printed below and one letter missing (SHOUL_ER, KN_E, _IPS). Following the instruction "Fill in the missing letter to complete the names of the body parts", pupils write the missing letter in the blank box. Red arrows show the exact part where a drawing alone could be unclear.
Pedagogical guide
The drawing gives the meaning and the printed letters give most of the spelling, so pupils only have to notice what is absent. The gap changes place (the first letter of HIPS and CHEST, a middle letter in SHOULDER), so no single habit solves the sheet. Use it after the nine words have been taught orally: it fixes spelling, it does not introduce vocabulary.
Suggested procedure
- (4 min) Point to your own shoulder, knee and chin; the class says the words. Write nothing yet.
- (3 min) Read the instruction aloud and complete KN_E together on the board.
- (10 min) Pupils work alone in pencil.
- (5 min) Check with the answer key on page 2: say each full word, pupils spell it aloud in English.
- (3 min) Play Simon says with the nine body parts.
Adaptations
[S] Complete the first three words together, then let pairs continue; write the nine words in a jumbled list on the board.
[A] Pupils cover the printed words and write three of them in full from the drawings, then check.
Materials & prerequisites
One sheet per pupil and a pencil. Page 2 is the answer key: keep it. Pupils must already know the nine words orally.
