• To do a dictation exercise with your class using PAPERSHOW, give one of your pupils the book (the seyes for example) and the pen. Minimise the PAPERSHOW window, and get the pupil with the PAPERSHOW book to use it for their work, while the rest of the class use their own books.
• At the end of the dictation, open the PAPERSHOW window so the pupil’s work is displayed to the whole class and the dictation can be corrected as a group.
• This allows you to ask another pupil to correct the work of the first.
  

     Benefits:

• You can easily show and explain what is right and wrong, and add your own comments using a different colour, in the margin for example.
• You can circle, draw a border around or underline certain words to explain a grammar rule.
• Use the virtual mask to gradually reveal the dictation and focus the pupil’s attention.
• Your pupils enjoy participating and working together as they can all take part in the correction.
• Pupils will take care with their handwriting when they know that their work is going to be displayed to the whole class.
• The pupils gain confidence from the fact that their work is not final and can be corrected.
