Back to School - Year 7 English first week lessons

This a fully-planned and fully-resourced first week of lessons for your new Year 7 English group.

It is designed to allow for very informal baseline assessments in speaking and listening, reading and writing. By the end of this first week, you’ll have got to know your class and had the chance to see what they can do in the three main areas of English.

Lesson one: Speaking and Listening
Simple design and presentation activity to allow pupils to introduce themselves.

Lesson two: Writing
The pack provides printable writing prompts to generate ideas for an first piece of narrative writing.

Lesson three: Reading
Four classroom reading ‘stations’ on the theme of travel. Each station uses an interesting activity based on a different reading skill: locating information, inference, summary and vocabulary. Tasks are multiple choice, true/false, wordsearch and summary.
