The Highwayman: Differentiated Pupil Workbook and IWB slides

This 36 page pupil workbook contains a variety of highly differentiated activities to accompany the study of Alfred Noyes' classic ballad, 'The Highwayman' with students whose literacy is a barrier to learning.

UPDATED: 20-03-17 I've added a wide range of images as a separate downloadable Word document for use with the Media Storyboard task. This might be preferable if your students have poor fine motor skills and, where possible, the images reflect a variety of camera 'shot' types so they can justify the choices they have made in the accompanying 'commentary' writing task.

UPDATED 09-02-17 To include SMART Notebook slides which replicate all 36 pages of the Pupil Workbook.

Some of the activities include:

* pre-reading non-fiction comprehension: 'Dick Turpin'
* sequencing Part One narrative events to show awareness of structure
* cloze summary of Part One and extension task with sentence stems for completion
* cloze and sentence stems for the journal of Tim, the ostler
* a media storyboard and commentary
* simile and metaphor, commenting on the use and effects of language
* sequencing Part Two narrative events to show awareness of structure
* cloze summary of Part Two and extension task with sentence stems for completion
* newspaper report of the deaths
* production of a non-literary leaflet: Highway Safety for Travellers

I hope this is of some use to you. Please leave review.

Thanks,

Matt :)
