This stand alone lesson is basically a note taking one, where a short video (enclosed) is played then the class take notes then following this the children are given 3 levels of writing yellow blue red and they have criteria to cover in each. This was done in a geography lesson but would be ideal for cross curr writing in English and did bring out a lot of technical vocab from the group and good writing was produced -
The Iron Man comprehension with set activties for the children to work through - Activty 1 is for the less able children Activity 2 and 3 for the rest are open ended activities
