How to run a sentence auction

1. Friday 28th February 2014 How to run a sentence auction LQ: Can I teach children semantics in an exciting, innovative way that shows progress in twenty minutes?

2. Welcome  Welcome to Coopers’s PD sentence auction!

3. Introductions • We are Vicky Snell and Jude Offord, the NQTs from Coopers. • <<< This is us at our graduation  • Please feel free to ask us any questions. • We are happy to e-mail this PowerPoint and resources – please write your name on the lined piece of paper.

4. Sentence auction: the rules • Aim: buy as many correct sentences as possible. • You’ve got £150 to spend as a group: three £20, four £10, ten £5. • Bids begin at £5. • Bids increase by £5 each bid. • You can get change. • The sentence will be sold to the highest bidder (remember: "£25 going once, £25 going twice, £25 sold to group X!"). • The winner: the group which has bought the most correct sentences.

5. Auction assistants • You could have the auction assistant as: • Your TA • An AA ‘captain’ • A ‘naughty’

6. Sudden death • Sudden death: if multiple groups buy the same amount of correct sentences, then the winner is decided by who has the most money left. • So…you will need to keep tabs on your money.

7. Bank of Miss Offord rules Each time one of your team gets a sanction, we will deduct the following amounts of Miss Offord money: • C1 = £5 • C2 = £10 • C3 = £20 Don’t shout out if you think your know the answer. It spoils it for everyone.

8. Two minutes to take your stuff, get into pairs and work out your role. • SMSC: I would suggest one of you manages money (how much have you spent/got left?), one of you needs to hold up the mini-whiteboard (perhaps you could share doing this?) and you all work together to crack these sentences! • Team one: you can differentiate this by: • Team two: mixed-ability with an AA ‘captain’ • Team three: behaviour • Team four: friendship group • Team five: numeracy kids (especially in a streaming environment like ours) • Team six: • Team seven:
