English : Homophones

Resulting from an analysis of the Narrative Writing completed earlier
in the week, we are beginning to address some of the 'matters arising'

Homophones are an area that needs to be covered
Students are using just any old spelling of common homophones

Today we dealt with to, too, too and hear and here

We discussed the fact that spelling of the word depends on CONTEXT

Ex 19 from LT Spelling allowed us to place the words in context.

We discussed the exercise together working on the whiteboard

Afterwards students completed the exercise individually before going
on to demonstrate that they can use the words in context by creating
three dfferent and interesting sentences for each of the homophones
under consideration
