MATH LIB ACTIVITY: My students really enjoyed this activity – I’m sure your students will too! I cut out and laminated the ten task cards. I then tacked them to the wall with Blu-Tac (this way cards don’t get lost if they were left on students’ desks – it also gets students up and moving), Students then write the ratio to solve on their recording sheet, simplify it and look for their answer from the list of options. They write the word against the selected option in the ‘fill in the blanks’ section. The end result is a spooky message. You will find that this is a far more interesting way of answering a multiple-choice question and checking students’ answers. The cards target differentiation. I am confident your students will have sound mathematical knowledge and understanding of simplifying decimal-number ratios after completion of this unit. All the best for the academic year!

To weave a compelling story is indeed an Art in its own kind and with the structured and scaffolded lessons this unit offers, your students will be able to do just that. Lessons in the first part of this unit focus on identifying the structure and features of a narrative. Mini lessons target use of transitions, description, figurative language, and dialogue to control pacing, in addition to effective ways to begin and conclude narratives. The provided narrative writing sample is editable giving you the flexibility to customise this unit to suit your students’ learning needs. Narrative Writing Part I IDENTIFYING THE STRUCTURE AND FEATURES OF A NARRATIVE Lessons revolve around the sample personal narrative, ‘The Storm’. Students will identify the elements of a plot, use of figurative language, transitions, dialogue, and opening, body, and concluding paragraphs. They de-structure the parts of a narrative and note use of interesting vocabulary. An assessment sheet is also provided to assess comprehension. The following mini lessons are included: USING TRANSITION WORDS AND PHRASES TO MANAGE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DESCRIPTION AND FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE TO SLOW DOWN PACE OF STORY DIALOGUE IN WRITING ANALYSE A NARRATIVE PROMPT – mini booklet ORGANISE A NARRATIVE SHORT STORY DRAFTING AN INTRODUCTION NARRATIVE WRITING PART II Students use all the skills acquired in Part I of this Narrative Writing unit to respond to On – Demand Narrative Writing Prompts that require students to write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well‐chosen details and well-structured event sequences. Students have the choice of responding to 7 prompts with visuals. They use the given picture stimulus and graphic organisers to plan their writing and write their first draft. They will be familiar with this, having had ample practice in Narrative Writing Part I of this unit. ALSO INCLUDED * Writing Tools: Colour posters of the VCOP (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation) gang to enable students to write creatively and edit their draft. * self-editing checklist * peer-editing checklist * Teacher Marking Rubric * Suggested lesson overview and procedure for each writing activity included. * Table of Contents for easier navigation.
