Hi All! At the private school that I work at, we do Writing Portfolios to assess the children’s English skills 3 times a year. Each time we do one, we have a stimulus presentation and we all use the same planning sheet. This can be used from years 3-6 and is differentiated accordingly. There’re 2 different planning sheets to suit different abilities and to ensure the planning aspect is standardised across the school. Enjoy!

Book Review worksheet concentrating on summarising, forming opinions and concluding on Matilda by Roald Dahl.

This works great as a post-text exercise, and also works as a movie review if you are following the feature film instead. Reviewing books helps children know that it’s okay to like or dislike a book, and also allows them to work out what their favorite genres are.
