Welcome to Word Wizards!

Engaging Opening Activity: Our Magic Potion!

Imagine you're a wizard or a witch in a magical world where your words have the power to create amazing stories and designs! Today, we're going to start our adventure by making our very own Magic Potion!

Instructions:

1. Gather Your Ingredients:

   • Each student will need a piece of paper and coloured pencils or crayons.

2. Potion Time:

   • Draw your own magic potion bottle at the top of the paper.
   • Inside the potion bottle, write down three magical ingredients you would include in your potion. For example, you can write "Sparkle Dust" or "Dragon Fruit Essence."

3. Pair Share:

   • Turn to your partner and share your ingredients. Ask each other why you chose those specific items.

Time to Create in Word!

After we finish our potion designs, we will transform our imagination into a real digital creation using Microsoft Word!

Interactive Discussion: Why Edit?

As wizards, we sometimes make mistakes in our spells (or in our writing!). Editing helps us make our work clearer, neater, and more exciting.

1. Ask Students:
   • Why do you think editing is important?
   • Have you ever changed something you wrote to make it better?

Encourage answers and draw connections on the whiteboard to the importance of editing.

Tell a Story: The Editing Spell!

Let’s say our magic potion spilled over, and now it’s a big mess! To fix it, we need to use our editing spell on our Word document!
