WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak- 5 lessons- postcard writing outcome

This is a 5 day DIFFERENTIATED/ADAPTED TEACHING POWERPOINT complete with a success criteria for each lesson, talk tasks, learner tasks as well as accompanying resources to that lead to a writing outcome – Postcard – from Max to his mum and is based on the book, ‘Where the Wild Things Are’.
The lessons include comprehension and grammar based on the book and is pitched at National Curriculum levels for Y1 and Y2. All the lessons follow in sequence and each lesson whether comprehension or grammar builds up to the long writing task, which is a postcard.

The learners’ can use their work from Day 1 to Day 4 and interweave it into the Long Write. Most lessons include a word bank to support EAL/SEN learners.

This set of lessons is structured based on the best pedagogical approaches to use in the classroom such as AFL questions to gather what learners’ already know, the use of talk partners to share learning, allowing learners to choose their own task from MILD, SPICY and HOT (this works wonders for their self-esteem) The tasks are adapted and progressive and you can model the tasks on the PowerPoint itself.
