Year 4/5 Explanation Texts Complete Topic
Here is all of the planning and resources I produced for an Explanation Texts topic for a Year 4 class.
The theme is Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions. Children invent their own machine then explain how it works.
Includes a letter from Wallace as an introduction and inventor cards to wear or carry.
EDIT: The 'Shark Text' as mentioned was changed in late stages to being the Teacher Pleaser Machine by Pie Corbett
EDIT October 2020 - So pleased that this resource is still being used by people. By popular demand, I have converted the .notebook files to PPT files. Apologies if any data doesn't go across properly, but it's the best I can do.
EDIT March 2022 - W&G are still going strong, almost ten years after I first made this resource! Some people are having issues with the PPT conversions - no idea why they're not downloading as they're in the file list. I've tried to re-upload them, but as they use flash, they're a little out of date now. Most of the videos in question can be located on youtube now.
