A bright, detailed and vividly planned lesson that aims to test KS3 students with their ability to read, comprehend and respond to a stimulating short story.
A part of the reciprocal reading scheme of work. Enjoy two FREE examples of the lessons here and here.
The lesson has four steps:
Starter - Pre-contextualise the material with a fun warmup activity
Read - Read through the material as a group with the help of bold images and vocabulary prompts
Understand - Summarise the material and reflect upon its impact on the reader
Respond - Create a short descriptive piece of text based on an image prompt, using adjectives to paint a scene
This lesson focuses on the short story “Umbrella” and asks students to evaluate the impact that the story’s twist ending had on the reader, as well as to consider the author’s intent when writing the story.
This lesson includes a detailed lesson plan, a PPT full of images, worksheets, questions and examplars, as well as containing a printable version of the short story itself to read with the class.
It bakes crucial GCSE skills into the plan, preparing students to meet AO objectives, and teaching them to consider the use of quotations to back responses. This lesson focuses on the impact that rich adjectives and descriptive imagery has on story.
