Here is all of the planning and resources I produced for an Explanation Texts topic for a Year 4 class.
The theme is Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions. Children invent their own machine then explain how it works.
Includes a letter from Wallace as an introduction and inventor cards to wear or carry.
EDIT: The 'Shark Text' as mentioned was changed in late stages to being the Teacher Pleaser Machine by Pie Corbett
EDIT October 2020 - So pleased that this resource is still being used by people. By popular demand, I have converted the .notebook files to PPT files. Apologies if any data doesn't go across properly, but it's the best I can do.
EDIT March 2022 - W&G are still going strong, almost ten years after I first made this resource! Some people are having issues with the PPT conversions - no idea why they're not downloading as they're in the file list. I've tried to re-upload them, but as they use flash, they're a little out of date now. Most of the videos in question can be located on youtube now.

Something went wrong, please try again later.
Hi! Thank you so much for this but I am unable to open the notebook files. Can you help? Thanks
Looks great but I am also unable to access the PPT files.
I love the look of this resource but would love to know how to access the PowerPoints
Hi! I've used this previously and would love to do it again with my class but I'm unable to access the files as a PPT. Any help here at all? It's a really great idea. ;)
Hi. I'm sorry to have to ask you this. I have noticed other people have asked you the same question and you have said that you have converted notebook files to PPT. Could you please point me in the right direction for these files as they are still showing up as notebook files? Thank you
