A sequence of lessons to get pupils to use adjectives, persuasive writing and to evaluate themed around a creative project building pirate forts as part of a topic following the book Treasure Island. I used it in English lessons but could be adapted for DT.
End of topic reward lesson design, then make, then decorate biscuits.
The recipe I used is as follows:
200g plain flour
100g margarine
100g sugar
1 egg
Grease tray.
Sieve flour.
Cut and rub in fat to fine breadcrumbs.
add sugar and any flavourings.
add beaten egg and bring together.
roll out and cut out shapes
bake for 10-20 mins at 180 until straw coloured
allow to cool.
A selection of resources for a lesson or lessons about the poem Jabberwocky.
I ask students to find 10 nonsense words in the poem.
Use the planning sheet to help them design monster.
Write a description of their monster.
Write a story of poem about their monster using some words they have made up, or made up words from the poem. Here you may need to spend some time deciding what these words mean.
Finally an activity on non-fiction writing to support pupils to include titles, sub-titles, captions and to write in paragraphs. Use the example about Komodo dragons to spot these features. Use the information about Swordfish (easier) and Ichthyosaurus (harder as headings are not included and the information is not in order) or your own research to write your own non-fiction article about a real life monster.
Resources for a sequence of lessons to support SEN students to access the poem, explore newspaper report structure, write a newspaper report based on the events in the poem and answer comprehension questions based on the poem.
