This is an independent reading session in a round robin rotation. Six independent reading activities are provided which can be repeated for a different choice of non-fiction book in each iteration of a round robin. Introductions for each activity are also provided and are designed for the first two sessions of the activity. We re-cap non-fiction features and then model each activity before learners choose.
Learners have a choice of:-
• summarising sections;
• locating key information;
• writing part of a non-chronological report;
• creating a glossary; or
• writing an ‘inspired by’ discovery or invention news story.
The session is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales). It is part of a unit based around a mission to Mars with Literacy, Maths and other Curriculum lessons planned.
There is a lesson plan which includes:
• suggested links to curriculums;
• notes to provide lesson support;
• main, groups with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
• sections of the lesson linked to Blooms taxonomy;
• PowerPoint presentations to support teaching; and
• consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles.
Thankyou,
Team Teaching Alive
