<p>A good Year 7 lesson for the first week of term to encourage independent reading.</p> <p>You will need at least one copy of <strong>Michael Morpurgo</strong>’s essay <strong>We Are What We Read</strong> in which he reflects on his childhood experiences of reading. This is published in <em>Singing for Mrs Pettigrew: A Storymaker’s Journey,</em> Walker Books, 2007.</p> <p>Read the essay with/ to the class without telling them the name of the writer. Discuss the four questions (teacher’s notes provided) and then ask class to guess the name of the writer using the clue in question 4. They may be surprised to learn that Morpurgo did not like books when he was their age.</p> <p>In pairs, pupils discuss questions about their own reading experiences, then produce a piece of writing to describe their own Personal Reading History.</p> <p>A 3-page Word document</p>

34 pages of different font styles. Children always enjoy writing stylish headings for their projects and posters. These worksheets open up a variety of letter styles that students can practice.<br /> <br /> Children can trace over the letters to get a feel of shape and movement, and then rewrite the letter underneath.<br /> <br /> Some letters could even be better reproduced with calligraphy pens if you feel like adding some extra interest to the art of writing.<br /> <br /> A great activity filler and very calming fun for those times when your class need calming!
