Holes by Louis Sachar- setting description based on Camp Green Lake

This is a 10 day Teaching PowerPoint complete with success criteria’s and differentiated/adapted resources that leads to a long writing task - setting description of Camp Green Lake as well as Innovating the description to change the setting to a new setting where children plan and write independently.
The lessons include talk tasks and grammar based on the book and it is pitched at National Curriculum levels for Year 6. See breakdown of teaching materials below.

All the lessons follow in sequence and each lesson whether role play 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. The PowerPoint allows you to teach and model the writing.

The learners’ can use their work from Day 1 to Day 7 and interweave it into the Long Write. Lessons include a word bank to support EAL/SEN learners and a word bank for all children for the long write.
