A Typical Day in School
Overview:
There are actions, instructions and communicative exchanges that are repeated nearly every day in the classroom
with the same structure and patterns. Pupils, as a result, are very familiar with the meaning associated with such
routines. This is very fertile ground for transferral of literacy skills from the languages they know to additional
languages. In the next series of activities, pupils will explore some of these routines that they will consolidate with
use over time.
Learning intentions:
Through various learning experiences, pupils should be able to…
• Recognise days of the week and numbers
• Note which strategies they prefer to memorise vocabulary
• Respond to simple classroom instructions
• Recognise diferent types of hearing devices
• Renect on school life and Deaf culture
