This is a HUGE 90+ page complete English unit of work based on the book “Mirror” by Jeannie Baker.
This is a complete English unit of work, based on the “Book a Week” model. This model requires students to explore one text deeply, using it as a mentor text for their own writing. All elements of the literacy block are included, constituting a complete week of learning with no prep required.
Students explore “Mirror” as a shared reading text, and then use the structure and model of this book to complete their own written text - a hybrid informative/imaginative text.
The outcomes included are for a Stage Two class, however this unit is completely open-ended so it could easily be adapted for older students as well.
Included in this unit of work is:
-
all curriculum links, both ACARA and NESA. English curriculum links are included, as well as HASS/HSIE.
-
a detailed lesson guide, outlining everything you need to teach the unit. This is a step-by-step daily lesson plan, with work samples, tips and suggestions and more.
-
all learning intentions and success criteria.
-
embedded oral language prompts, based on Mirror.
-
a comprehensive shared reading supporting slideshow, containing lots of visual supports. This Includes page-by-page comprehension questions (both literal and inferential).
-
a full-colour background to the text, including a country case study on the real-life basis for the text (Morocco and the Berber people of this country) and an overview of the Valley of Roses which inspired the text
-
a complete writing unit (which for my class took longer than one week, but is provided here in varying lengths), with all associated planning and publishing templates
-
ten high-interest literature centre task cards, based on Mirror. These are designed to be engaging and fun with a high degree of student choice, so as to allow for independent work. Tasks incorporate areas such as research, designing, the Creative Arts and more. There are also imaginative, informative and persuasive written tasks based on Mirror.
-
All associated printables to support the literature circle tasks. These can also be used in isolation as well.
I have many other literature based resources in my store. Please feel free to check them out.
Happy reading!
