HUGE Resource Bundle - Survivors - Ben Hubbard - Student Workbook Stages 2/3

This is a 100+ page resource bundle based on the huge book Survivors: Inspiring True Stories of Survival by Ben Hubbard.

Survivors: Inspiring True Stories of Survival is an informative text which tells 20 true stories of survival in a detailed and inspiring way.

This book was selected to be a mentor text to teach the Stage Two NESA Unit (16): 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 42 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 vocabulary booster, whereby students are required to use the context of the book to decode the meaning of Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary, and then apply these in their own writing to build language development.

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!
