Description of resource




A reference / revision booklet for learners on PowerPoint
A set of flashcards provided on PowerPoint
Labelling activity on PowerPoint
Comparing plant and animal cells activity on PowerPoint
Preparation needed
You will need:
 Interactive White Board (IWB) or projector and screen to be able to use the
PowerPoint with whole class
 A copy of the reference booklet for each beginner EAL learner in the class
 Copies of the flashcards for each targeted pair or group of learners for the
labelling activity
You will need to:
 make flashcards by printing out the PowerPoint files as two-to-a-page handouts
and then cutting them up..
 print off A3 copies of slides 2 and 5 of the cell labelling activity PowerPoint for
each group of learners, and A4 copies of slides 3 and 6.
 print off an A3 copy of slide 5 of the comparing plant and animal cells
PowerPoint for each group of learners
Curriculum objectives
 To know the names and functions of the different parts of plant and animal cells
 To know the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells

Ideas for using the resource
What to do
 To introduce key vocabulary, use the flashcards and the visuals from the
reference booklets. Print the booklets out and give to every EAL learner for future
reference.
 Labelling exercise: Give each group the A3 diagrams of the plant and animal
cells (slides 2 and 5 of the cell labelling activity PowerPoint) and A4 copies of
slides 3 and 6. Explain that they need to label the diagrams with their parts and
with the function of each part.
 Sorting exercise: Give each group the A3 Venn diagram (slide 5 of the
comparing plant and animal cells PowerPoint, or slide 4 for groups needing
additional support). Explain that they need to complete the diagram to show the
different parts of plant and animal cells.
 For beginner EAL learners, a cloze passage comparing plant and animal cells
in provided (slide 14)..

Other ideas for making the best use of this resource
 For intermediate EAL learners, a glossary of useful words and phrases for
comparing and contrasting is provided (slide 11).
 Show slide 12 of the comparing plant and animal cells PowerPoint, pointing out
the language of comparing and contrasting. Then ask learners to write their
own text comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.
Possible extension activities
 An alternative use for slide 12 of the comparing plant and animal cells
PowerPoint would be to use it as a Dictogloss exercise.
