HUGE Resource Bundle - Kicking Goals with Goodesy and Magic - Workbook Stage 2

This is a 40+ page resource bundle based on the fascinating book Kicking Goals with Goodesy and Magic by Anita Heiss.

Kicking Goals with Goodesy and Flint is an informative text which shows the story of Adam Goodes and Michael O’Loughlin in an accessible and inspiring way.

This book was selected to be a mentor text to teach the Stage Two NESA Unit (8): Theme. The resources are designed both to provoke deep thinking about the text, but also to be completely independent. The only prep you need to do is printing or uploading to google classroom or a similar platform.

This bundle of resources consists of:

• a 25 page comprehension guide. The guide is organised into chapter-by-chapter sections, with two full pages for every chapter. This guide focuses on a range of skills, such as literal and inferential understanding, text-to-self connections, author purpose, cause and effect and much much more. Each chapter also has an associated creative response, based on the events and characters of each section. There is a comprehensive answer guide.

• a set of ten full-colour literacy centre task cards based on the text. These include a range of Creative and Practical Arts integrated tasks, as well as informative, imaginative and persuasive writing prompts. Task cards are given both in PDF and PowerPoint formats.

• all associated printables linked to the task cards, which can be used for a range of literature. These are a set of high-interest, high-choice worksheets.

• a bonus printable writing prompt, whereby students are required to compose a digital biography on an inspirational figure of their choice. All resources are included - a printable writing prompt with guidelines, a planning sheet and two student exemplars.

This resource provides weeks of learning, covering reading, writing and speaking and listening.

This book would be suitable for a whole class read-aloud, or as a reading group text for Stage Two or Stage Three students.

I have many other literature-based resources in my store (most of them Australian) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
