Sequencing/Storyboard for 'The Piano' Literacy link, story mountain.

(0)
This resource uses screen shots from The Piano by Aidan Gibbons (Literacy Shed for free). It is designed to support children in analysing and/or retelling what is happening during each scene in the video. A fantastic video and produces amazing writing at the end of the unit. The children really develop a sense of empathy as the video is unpicked. This resource can be used in a number of ways to discuss characters feelings at each stage, what happens to the music, what the characters are thinking, why those particular memories stand out etc.

Word sorting activity, building vocabulary, zone of relevance.

(0)
A simple zone of relevance board. Children can use this for ANY topic as it is generic. Find words (either known or using a thesaurus) and sort them based on how well they describe the topic or person. The words which are okay sit on the outside, the words in the center of the diagram describe the person/topic perfectly. Can be a great starter task or activity for LAP.

'My Target' self or peer assessment.

Children or an adult completes the slip to set them a target based on their work. Can be used for self assessment or peer assessment. Makes the targets easy to view when flicking through a book and can even be laminated to use as a bookmark in their books.

Romeo and Juliet Story mountain.

The story of Romeo and Juliet written in note form as story mountain. A great resource for children to turn into their own story. I have used this with gifted and talented intervention groups and whole classes and it is always a hit.

Story board mountain - lined

(0)
A great resource to use for a variety of topics. Each box is lined and the children can record their own story ideas or retell a story they are familiar with. Lines can easily be increased in size for lower ability/younger writers.

Marine4511 (literacy shed) Role on the wall.

(0)
This is a great activity to begin developing a good understanding of the character. It can be used in many different ways, but the most basic is the children recording the characters emotions and feelings inside the character outline and his appearance and attributes on the outside. It could also be used to explore for/against arguments and what he did vs what he wanted to do etc. A great little resource. Please note: I do not own the rights to Marine4511, this is a fantastic video which can be found on the literacy shed alongside many other valuable resources. I have simply created a resource to use alongside this video.

Word bank for 'The Great Fire of London'.

(1)
A word bank with pictures and meanings. Split into two sections, one to describe the fire and one to describe the feelings of people affected. Some words have brackets to give a simple meaning. A great little resource to encourage the use of high level vocabulary all through this unit. We used it when writing a newspaper report and a diary entry from the time.

The Highwayman Storyboard and Word bank

(0)
A fantastic resource to go alongside the youtube video. I have included screenshots from the video to retell the story as well as a word bank including characters, quotes from the poem, setting descriptions and descriptive phrases. A fantastic lesson to introduce and clarify the story of The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.
