This site was particularly useful for very specific areas of curriculum. This example I have chosen is something I could use for the younger years of Secondary School. It could possibly be used for the later years of Primary school, however that will not apply to my own teaching practice. It shows moving images about how to distinguish between Antonyms, Synonyms and Homonyms. I would use this in the classroom for level 5 (year 7 and 8) if they were showing difficulty understanding the difference between different spellings and uses of words. An example they use in this clip is "bass (with a picture of a fish), bass (with a picture of a bass guitar) and base (with a picture of a slab which could be the base of something). This shows how spelling and pronunciation can differ from word to word.
