A detailed book review template for KS2 or low ability KS3. This particular one is for Stormbreaker, but feel free to edit the title etc to make it your own! I have successfully used this with a low set Year 7.

Differentiated task for the short, brilliant animation, 'Alma'. <br /> <br /> 3 differentiated question task sheets with a section of the written story at the centre. Questions around the narrative to stretch and challenge students to analyse how suspense is built in the story.<br /> <br /> Could be used for group or independent work and can be easily changed to meet the needs of your students.<br /> <br /> Used with middle ability year 7 but could easily and quickly be adapted for primary or older year groups.
