This is a highly engaging writing lesson with all you need to take you through the following steps:
example text and questions to create interest
drawing tasks to allow children to visualise a given planet and their own planet
structured pointers for children during writing
drama follow up
I have taught this lesson with children from various years and every age has been highly motivated and engaged throughout.
This is a structured recount writing lesson based on the 2018 MacDonalds Advert #reindeer ready. The lesson leads you through each paragraph, encouraging children to add in different features of a recount. I have taught this lesson each year since the advert was released and every class has loved it. I have also included a handy rubric that children can use for self and Teacher assessment.
An excellent resource to help teach the topics of Black History Month or Inspirational People. The ppt comes with guidance for children on note taking and presenting information in an eye catching way. There is a link to a class clips video as well as a picture of Harriet Tubman children can use on their poster. This has been a very well received lesson by all my classes. Please see a similar lesson on Rosa Parks.
