A fun lesson to introduce the topic of Heroes and Villains. I created this for a year 6 transition lesson up to year 7. Would be a fun KS3 cover lesson or introduction to topic. Students discuss with oracy tasks the effectiveness of Heroes and villains. Students start with a fun task of getting their own monster to turn into top trumps cards for a later battle royale preliminary task. And creating a basic description of their monster. Then there is a creative writing task to use their description in the introduction to story. Ending with peer assessment and battle royale top trumps. Do it now task drill comprehension Top Trumps Task descriptive writing task self/peer assessment.
