Included within this are tips for writing scientifically, looking at what needs to be included as well as a model example of a conclusion and what makes it good.
Lesson One - The history of electricity - Reading Comprehension with answers included
Lesson Two - Staying safe with electricity
Lesson Three - What make good conductors
Lesson Four - Circuits and symbols
Lessons Five and Six - Conducting an experiment into variations in how components function
During the unit of planning children will get to work on different skills including practising their reading comprehension, creating posters and writing scientifically.
A comprehensive set of resources for anyone to be able to teach a block on writing discussion texts. Planned for Year 5 but very easily adaptable to Year 4 or Year 6.
Included are:
Full lesson plans for 12-14 lessons, with differentiated activities for children.
IWB slides for every lesson that go step by step through the lesson. (N.B. In the shared writing sessions, the example paragraphs just need playing around with to a new topic. Whilst I could have done these, it is more powerful to do them with the class at the time)
Resource sheets required for lessons.
Word banks for children to use (in the IWB slides for powerful adjectives).
A self-assessment/ teacher assessment marking sheet that helps children assess as they write and can then be used for a simple marking sheet to pick out positives and targets for children.
A quiz that is a bit of fun/end of topic assessment for evolution and inheritance in Year 6. It takes on the form of a Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz with children competing individually, in teams or just doing it as a class as a bit of fun and a recap.
A bundle of reading comprehensions related to famous people that links to any work around Black History Month, focussing on significant figures and their lives whilst also developing comprehension abilities.
Teach children all about materials with this block of differentiated lesson plans and resources.
These six lessons ensure children cover a variety of activities whilst ensuring curriculum coverage.
