This is a step-by-step guide to creating a toolkit for a particular text type. It encourages students to understand why each feature is used - vital for answering 3 mark reading questions.
This is lesson 11 of my Adaptabubble Unit – three weeks of lessons that can be adapted to any text or theme. The included lesson plan contains suggestions for starters, a child-friendly explanation of the lesson, differentiation and plenary. The full unit will probably be available from Easter 2021.
It works incredibly well after a lesson of analysing different sample texts where students have spotted similarities and patterns. Then they will have the awareness to choose features that are relevant from those that are unsuitable.
Possible text types to teach with this tool: adventure stories, newspaper articles, non-chronological reports, folktales, World War 2 diaries.
I hope to make it fully editable in the future. You can contact me for further ideas at adaptabubble@gmail.com,
