HUGE Supporting Slideshow - Stage 3 Unit 9 NESA Unit - Storm Boy - Narrative

*Please read the product listing below carefully so you are clear on the specifics of this product. It is a PDF, not a PowerPoint. It also doesn’t involve all the elements of Component A, but is based on the framework of Component B. Check out the preview for more detail :)

This is a HUGE, 250+ page supporting slideshow for the new NESA Stage Three English Unit “Conventions of Narrative” which explicitly teaches these concepts using the mentor text, “Storm Boy” by Colin Thiele.

This resource is a supporting slideshow which means it is linked to the Department of Education (NSW) unit of work which teaches Stage 3 students about the conventions of narrative texts. This unit of work, and associated worksheets, are available for free on the NESA site. All the corresponding lessons are included in the slideshow, meaning this is a complete no-prep resource, when used in conjunction with the lesson guide.

Slides are full-colour, engaging and fun, whilst also encapsulating all the key concepts of the unit, so you don’t need to cross-reference or produce these yourself. Slides are organised by week and presented in PDF format so that formatting is consistent.

This unit of work focuses on the conventions of narrative, but also includes multiple mini-lessons which can be used across multiple types of text:

• structures of narratives

• story telling

• vocabulary

• figurative language (particularly similes, metaphors and personification)

• characterisation (including stereotypes and archetypes)

• building tension in a narrative

• subjective language

• temporal connectives

• modal words

• dialogue

*adjectival clauses

• foreshadowing in narratives

…and much more!

Simply put, this resource is everything you need to teach the new English curriculum in your Stage 3 classroom! All the hard work and preparation is done for you, so you can…teach!

Check out my linked resource bundle, which includes comprehension booklets for shared and guided reading, as well as Literacy Circle task cards, printables and much more!

This is a huge unit. It will take up a significant amount of storage space, so I recommend storage on Google Drive or similar. Slideshows are presented in PDF format.

Corresponding page numbers to the syllabus document from the NSW Department of Education are given in a coloured star in the corner of each slide.

Please note: this slideshow focuses on the complete learning pathway of Component B, with Component A embedded throughout as “mini -lessons” or concepts. There is not a stand-alone slideshow for Component A.

I have lots of other Literacy resources in my store (based on Australian content) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
