A scheme of work to support The Literacy Shed’s Marshmallow video. I designed this scheme of work last minute to support secondary MLD students, something that is fun and exciting that helps them engage in the lessons whilst working from home. Within the flipchart is an example of a non chronological report for one of the activities, this is to be used as a recommendation and gives staff delivering the resource an idea of what to use to support students in writing non-chronological reports. Twinkl have lots of free non chronological reports. English skills covered include : non chronological reports, comic book writing, descriptive writing ( onomatopoeia, similes and adjectives) and creative writing surrounding making a ‘wanted’ poster.

A variation on the game Herd Mentality, great for transition into secondary school, getting to know you activity and for devleoping social skills/speaking and listening. More questions will be added to the slide over the next few weeks, so far there are 26 different questions.

A scheme of work I put together to engage reluctant readers using David Walliam’s fantastic book Grandpa’s Great Escape. Pupils write instructions to build a model air craft ( model aircrafts not included in purchase :) ), create their own theme park for the elderly, write diary entries , write an interview in a police station to interrogate criminals (links to a clip from the simpsons video is included ) amongst other things to develop their literacy skills and develop a love for reading. This also complemented our topic at the time of World War 2. All worksheets are combined in the attached publisher document. One video clip taken from the movie Dunkirk is also linked. Additional work on onomatopoeias can be found on twinkl’s website.
