Editable text fields so you can customise to suit your learners

When you purchase this resource, you will be able to download a pdf which has a link to give you access to a Google Drive folder with:
A 26-page Google Slides presentation with editable success criteria (+ pdf version)
A 2-page Google Doc with full list of differentiated success criteria (+ pdf version)

This resource can be used to assist with planning as it outlines text features of biography and autobiography writing to be covered in lessons and provides progression options for learners of different abilities. It does not provide additional materials e.g. explanatory slides, exemplars or lesson plans. Students would benefit from whole class/small group modelling of how to use success criteria before attempting to use the success criteria independently.

There are 3 levels of differentiation for some resources. The easiest level is suitable for Year 2 students (age 6), the mid level is suitable for Year 3-4 (aged 7-8), and the high level is suitable for Year 5-6 (ages 8-10+).

The easiest level is suitable for Year 1/2 students (aged 5-6), the mid level is suitable for Year 2/3 (aged 6-7), and the challenge level is suitable for Year 4-6 (ages 8-10). Child-speak success criteria are a must-have in any classroom. Particularly when teaching Writing, I've seen a HUGE improvement in both my teaching and my students' learning when utilising them. The best thing has been seeing my struggling writers become empowered and motivated through using success criteria. When students know what is expected of them, the mystery of what makes a great piece of writing is uncovered. They really do take ownership of their learning as they play an active role in self-monitoring and assessing their own writing. So let's make learning as clear as possible for all of our students and set them up for success **every** Writing lesson. Are you on board? *Be purposeful teachers Who are in control Feel inspired And know they've done enough.* ☆ If you found this product helpful, please leave a review below! @attheminute.teaching
