Grandad's Island-character description of Grandad

This is an 5 day Teaching Powerpoint complete with success criteria’s and differentiated resources that leads to a long writing task - character profile of Grandad.

The lessons include talk tasks - comprehension and grammar based on the book and it is pitched at National Curriculum levels. See breakdown of teaching materials below.

All the lessons follow in sequence and each lesson whether comprehension or grammar builds up to the long writing task.

This set of lessons is structured based on the best pedagogical approaches to use in the classroom such as AFL questions to gather what learners already know, the use of talk partners to share learning, allowing learners to choose their own task from MILD, SPICY and HOT (this works wonders for their self-esteem) The tasks are differentiated and progressive you can teach and model on the PowerPoint.
