A set of materials I made based on the Marks and Spencer’s Food Adverts.
The lesson objective was to use interesting adjectives in their writing.
We watched M&S food adverts, as a class explored describing different foods and then wrote our own.
Included…
Weekly plan (just a few ideas in a weekly plan format including this lesson, you can make your own lesson plan with some of these ideas)
Word bank for this lesson
Video example of advert to pick out language
QUALITY Presentation (the same one) in the following formats…
Mac / iPad / Keynote
Powerpoint
Movie Format
(Following this lesson, children then wrote their own advert using descriptive language and we filmed the advert.)
UPDATE NOV: added Dahl resources.
A unit of work and worksheets I made for children to analyse and produce an 'Oompa Loompa' song based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
This also has drama / dance links!
A truly unique lesson idea you won't find anywhere.
Please note these are resources to write lyrics to a tune plus lots of other extras, mostly Literacy based. I have now included the backing track (Karaoke version to the original tune.)
UPDATE: I have added a collection of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory resources (including the first 3 book chapters and questions based on this) and additional files for the Oompa Loompa song resource
A collection of some of my best bookmarked sites. These have been collected by me over MANY years and some are literally GEMS! I hope this helps some people out. Please comment if you find useful!
UPDATED with LOTS more resources
Perfect for Years 3-5 when studying non-chronological reports / information writing, with differentiated worksheets, great for getting boys interested!
I have updated this popular pack of resources with much much more.
Now includes…
-Online ‘Prezi’ I made (an online animated Presentation ready to use) .
This really is extremely useful and took a TON of time to make, the link is at the bottom of the lesson plan to access and can be used online to present the whole topic.
-Weekly and individual lesson plan
-PowerPoint
-Worksheets
-Example of shared write and completed notes
-‘Big Cat’ information book to print and use for additional information.
-Short downloaded video about Tigers (I do not claim to own this portion of the resource but I used as part of my lesson.)
We gave our classes a homework project based around finding about an animal of their choice. These sheets were given out once a week to help guide them with 'how to write a homework project.&' They can obviously be adapted.\n\nExtract.....\n&';So far you have...\n-Gathered together resources\n-Made a title page\n-Decided on sections to split your project into and made brief notes.\n-Written the introduction and ‘where they live.’\n-Written about what they look like\n-Written about what they eat / how they hunt'\n\nIf you find the resource useful please comment or rate.
