A start to comparing language style. Children given Donaldson books and fill in table group or individual work. Differentiated 3 ways: repetition, repetition and rhyme and various languages.\n\nCan obviously change the photos by copying and pasting different pictures in.

Stories by the same author. Different sentences/phrases typed up from Julia Donaldson books: A squash and a squeeze, Sharing a shell and Follow the Swallow.\n\nMy class really enjoyed spliting them into groups. SOme chose 'people, animal, object&' others chose to group sentences according to punctuation or language.\n\nThey were allowed to chose whether to use a venn diagram (hoops on floor) or large carroll diagrams I made up. \n\nI used this as a start for thinking about similarities and differences in books by the same author.

Given 9 key words in groups; children then rearrange the key words discussing which they think is most important and so on. This happens on the floor with large paper and flashcards; the end result is then written up onto this sheet.
