HUGE Resource Bundle - Queenie in Seven Moves - Workbook- Teacher Guide Stage 3

This is a 80+ page resource bundle based on the beautiful Australian book Queenie in Seven Moves by Zanni Louise.

Queenie in Seven Moves by Zanni Louise follows the journey of a young girl named Queenie as she navigates life during the COVID-19 pandemic. After becoming homeless, Queenie and her mother move through seven different places—each one temporary and unfamiliar. As Queenie grapples with the uncertainty of their living situation, she also faces changes in her friendships, her passion for music, and her relationship with her mother. This touching middle-grade novel explores themes of resilience, belonging, and self-discovery.

This book was selected to be a mentor text to teach the Stage Three NESA Unit (15): Narrative. The resources are designed both to provoke deep thinking about the text, but also to be completely independent. The only prep you need to do is printing or uploading to google classroom or a similar platform.

This bundle of resources consists of:

• a 60+page comprehension guide. The guide is organised into 2-3 chapter ‘chunks’ with three full pages for every section. This guide focuses on a range of skills, such as literal and inferential understanding, text-to-self connections, author purpose, cause and effect and much much more. Each chapter also has an associated vocabulary booster, which requires students to use contextual clues to decode the meaning of new words, and then apply these in their own writing. There is an answer guide for the literal comprehension questions.

• a set of ten full-colour literacy centre task cards based on the text. These include a range of Creative and Practical Arts integrated tasks, as well as informative, imaginative and persuasive writing prompts. Task cards are given both in PDF and PowerPoint formats.

• all associated printables linked to the task cards, which can be used for a range of literature. These are a set of high-interest, high-choice worksheets.

• a bonus printable writing prompt, whereby students are required to choose from imaginative, informative or persuasive writing prompts to produce a text. The writing task is presented as a printable booklet, which can be used for assessment, classroom displays or student feedback.

This resource provides weeks of learning, covering reading, writing and speaking and listening.

This book would be suitable for a whole class read-aloud, or as a reading group text for Stage Two or Stage Three students.

I have many other literature-based resources in my store (most of them Australian) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
