This is an 11 -day editable DIFFERENTIATED TEACHING POWERPOINT complete with success criteria for each lesson, talk tasks, learner tasks as well as accompanying resources to teach character description -Stanley and is based on the book, Holes.
The lessons include comprehension and grammar based on the book and are pitched at National Curriculum levels for Y3, 4 and 5. All the lessons follow in sequence and each lesson whether comprehension or grammar builds up to the long writing task, which is to write a character description of Stanley. Thereafter, the last two lessons are to innovate a plan and write a new character for the story.
The learners can use their work from Day 1 to Day 7 and interweave it into the Long Write. Lessons 11/12 and 13: INDEPENDENT WRITE where children innovate and create a new character in the place of Stanley. Most lessons include a word bank to support EAL/SEN learners.This set of lessons is structured based on the best pedagogical approaches to use in the classroom such as AFL questions to gather what learners already know, the use of talk partners to share learning, allowing learners to choose their task from MILD, SPICY and HOT (this works wonders for their self-esteem) The tasks are progressive and can be modelled on the PowerPoint itself.
