Alexander the Great: Non-Chronological Report Writing

In this lesson pack you will find:

• a detailed PowerPoint containing facts about both Alexander the Great and a brief recap on the features of non-chronological reports. (for best outcome, use the PowerPoint in full screen)

• differentiated worksheets to help your class plan their non-chronological reports effectively. This also includes a sheet for SEN children who may have different objectives, but can still get involved in the context of the lesson.

• editable versions of the activity sheets for you to adapt to your cohorts needs.

• a suggested lesson plan which is easily translatable into your school’s preferred format.

Taking into account Ofsted’s targets and criteria, this lesson is designed to help teaching staff incorporate writing lesson into their curriculum beyond English lessons. It is advised that non-chronological reports and an introduction to Ancient Greeks are taught before assigning this task to maximise the effectiveness of the lesson.
