Teacher notes & references

The model describes a fictional school. Students should use their own school's actual rules and facilities. The optional writing box keeps text while navigating this page; download or copy it before closing the page. It does not submit work to the teacher.

Approach: British Council: Planning a writing lesson focusing on genre. Model text, activities and simple facility icons were created for this lesson. Audio uses device voices; exact word highlighting needs word timing from the voice.
