• The cat is on the box.
• The cat is beside the box.

Create: Listen and Choose!

Students listen to recorded sentences and identify the correct picture or preposition. They respond by pointing, selecting an answer or saying the correct word.

Share & Reflect: Where Is the Cat?

Students share their answers and respond to the question, "Where is the cat?" using single words or simple sentences.

4. Learning Outcomes & Assessment

Students demonstrate understanding by identifying the cat's correct position after listening to simple sentences.

The teacher assesses students through observation, with a suggested success criterion of two out of three correct responses independently.

5. Reflection & Adaptation

Keynote supports inclusive learning by combining visual illustrations and audio recordings.

The activity can be adapted according to students' abilities:

• More support: Point to the correct picture with guidance.
• Moderate support: Identify the correct preposition independently.
• More independent: Describe the cat's position using complete sentences.

Teachers can extend the activity using familiar classroom objects to reinforce prepositions in everyday situations.
