Unit of work following the abridged version of Treasure Island edited by Pauline Francis in the ‘Fast Track Classics’ collection.
I think this could be easily adapted/extended to follow the original text.
A scheme of work based on an abridged copy of Treasure Island from the Fast Track Classics series by Pauline Francis. This includes a diary of questions and activities that follow the story and test comprehension of the text. There are also some extended activities based on the original text including some practical activities.
I used this unit of works over 12 lessons with a group of ASD students in Year 7 and 8.
Illustrated history of tanks. Can be used to cut and match information to pictures as a reading activity or for note taking or for information capture depending on how you set up your lesson.
Information about tanks of the future with illustration that I used for a reading/research activity where my student summarised each section into one or two sentences. you could also make comprehension questions to use with this.
Following of from writing about the description of The Captain at the opening of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island this activity gets students to write their own description of a pirate encouraging the use of adjectives, similes, metaphors, and speech, with speech marks.
There is then a guided self and peer assessment activities followed by redrafting and final write up. I used this over a sequence of 3 lessons but mainstream learners would progress more quickly.
Following on from my free resource The Captain.
I used this for revision for my class. The items sold in the shop are a bit silly/childish because that’s what my class likes but they could quickly and easily be changed with find and replace if you don’t like them.
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.
