In Part 2 we see further lessons in which the teachers explain and demonstrate how they use THRASS. 

The first lesson focuses on identifying the various types of graphemes or spelling choices, sorting words into their component graphemes, locating the keywords that represent the graphemes on the THRASS Picturechart and identifying the variation in graphemes between the pronunciation of the same word in different accents. 

In the next lesson Grade 5 students are doing their consonant rap before moving on to the even more difficult vowel rap. Rather than using THRASS Picturecharts they have progressed to using Graphemecharts. They then demonstrate the location of keygraphemes on the Phoneme-Grapheme Cards before moving on to THRASSing words out, either by writing them or by using magnetic letters. 

We then see Janine Plunkett, who wrote the words and music for the THRASS SING-A-LONG songs, taking a lively lesson with Grade 3 children using the SING-A-LONG book. The lesson could however be used with children of any age. She begins by talking the children through the contents of the book and explaining that there are 44 songs because there are 44 phonemes. For the lesson she has chosen to work on ‘I am a fish’ and, having shown the children how to find the song in the book, she then moves on to show them how to select it in the Interactive book on a SMART Board. She explains that the dolphin in the picture has dreadlocks because the music for the song is Reggae style and goes on to explain how Reggae is different from other music. The children are encouraged to identify the different types of grapheme on the picture page and to count how many times the keywords appear on the word page. Grade 0s would just use the book as a picture book but older children use it as a reading book. 

Janine then moves on to demonstrate the Phoneme Machine software using a SMART Board but explains that children can also use it with a computer or a projector. She shows the children how to select the three keywords from ‘I am a fish’ (‘fish’, ‘coffee’ and ‘dolphin’) from the Word Grid and invites the children to click on the lips to hear the sound of the phonemes that make up those words. The lesson concludes with a very animated performance of ‘I am a fish’.  

In the last part of the video we see a series of scenes from the various breakout sessions that have been taking place: ‘THRASS and Computers’, ‘THRASS and Academic Suport’, ‘THRASS and Drumming’, ‘THRASS and Drama’ and ‘THRASS and Cultural Subjects’.
