<p>Seven ‘Whole Class Reading’ (or could be used for Guided Reading) lessons and activities linked to the book, ‘Boy at the Back of the Class’ by Onjali Rauf. These plans could be used for either Year 4, 5 or 6.</p> <p>Each lesson includes:</p> <p>7 x PowerPoint Lesson Plans (this includes a Learning Objective linked to a specific reading skill, warm-up, questions linked to the text (with page numbers, quotes or snipped extracts, examples of model answers and a task for the lesson) and a teaching input which leads to the main task activity (which is differentiated). Each lesson requires some reading of the text before the lesson - this is specified on the first slide which chapters will need to be read.<br /> 7 x Main Task for each lesson. This includes questions based on a ‘bronze, silver and gold’ differentiation by challenge and choice.</p> <p>Lessons provide children with a range of reading skill opportunities:</p> <ul> <li>Retrieval</li> <li>Inference</li> <li>Summarising</li> <li>Language for effect</li> <li>Non-fiction based on the text (linked to refugees)</li> </ul> <p>Within lessons, a range of model answers are given to be used as critical thinking activities for children to ensure they use ‘inference + evidence = effective answer’.</p> <p>My children in Year 5 absolutely loved this book and it links so fittingly to what is going on in the world at the moment. We completed one session per week, which took us to half term.</p>

<p>Year 4 / 5 / 6 – A full week of engaging Diary Entry writing planning based on the Halloween scene from the book and film, ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio. Included are daily PowerPoints, resources to print, and a planning explanation. The diary entry is told from Auggie’s perspective as he deals with the excitement of coming to school for Halloween only to face his friend’s talking about him in class.</p> <p>This highly exciting, emotive, and engaging writing planning could be used and adapted for either Year 4, 5 or 6. This could be used as a week’s English unit, with children publishing their writing in lesson 5. The planning would work alongside children reading the text; however, children would not need to have read the whole book to be able to access the planning. There is an accompanying YouTube clip from the film, Wonder (included in the planning), which can be used for a standalone diary entry unit. All resources are made in PowerPoint so are easily editable.</p> <p><strong>Included in the download:</strong></p> <p>There are 4 complete lessons included in the pack. (Please note, all printed resources have been duplicated for planning ease.)</p> <p>4 x PowerPoint Lesson Plans (this includes a Learning Objective, starter activity, slide to model writing, extension / challenge task).<br /> 4 x Starter Tasks – all starter tasks are used to develop higher order critical thinking skills.<br /> 4 x Main Tasks + Success Criteria / Structure Strips to support Writing<br /> 1 x high quality Diary Entry WAGOLL<br /> 2 x Word Banks<br /> 1 x Diary Entry Features Poster<br /> 4 x Challenge / Extension Tasks<br /> 1 x Planning proforma to support the use of PowerPoints</p> <p>This planning was used as part of an inspection and was graded, ‘Outstanding’ when lessons were observed. All children produced high quality writing by the end of the week.</p> <p><strong>Further ideas</strong><br /> As the children have ‘imitated’ the WAGOLL, creating their own version, they could now ‘innovate’ their own diary entry based on how another character felt during the scene.</p>
