Recount of a Journey - Lesson Bundle!
This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually build towards composing an effective, well-structured recount, based on a journey of their choice.
This lesson bundle contains all six lessons from the series:
-Lesson 1: What is a Recount?
-Lesson 2: Vocabulary Building
-Lesson 3: Developing Sentences
-Lesson 4: Creating Cohesion
-Lesson 5: Varying Sentences
-Lesson 6: Editing and Redrafting
In my experience, the lessons each take between 2 and 3 hours to deliver, so depending upon your own pace there is likely 12 lessons of content here.
Each lesson contains an eye-catching and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation, in addition to any additional sheets, templates, or structure strips required for the lesson - everything needed to teach is included.
A range of knowledge recall, think, pair, share, independent, and peer/self review activities are included to ensure that writing compositions are gradually enhanced over the course of the unit.
These lessons were originally created for children in lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4), however, could easily be used for upper KS2 with only minor adaptations. The focus of the recount in these resources is a ‘journey’, but the resources have been made in a way that they can be easily adapted to your chosen topic/ subject matter.
The Explorer - Chapters 11-13: 'The Monkeys and the Bees' to 'Smoke' - Triple Lesson!
This engaging and thought-provoking triple-lesson resource aids students in developing a secure understanding of the chapters 11, 12 and 13 of Katherine Rundell’s 'The Explorer.’
The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation enables students to understand the text through:
-Retrieving information;
-Inferring and deducing hidden meanings;
-Analysing the writer’s use of language.
The sessions include a range of retrieval, vocabulary, inference, explanation and deeper thinking activities. A clear, colourful and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation guides students through the learning. The lesson also includes an answer key for the retrieval questions, and model answer ideas for the more detailed responses.
There’s a lot here (20 slides in total) so I would recommend possibly splitting the content into two or even three lessons. The lessons are suitable for students in KS2 (with only minor adaptations, I have used the resources in the past with children from years 3 to 5).
The Explorer - Chapters 5 to 7: 'Food (Almost)', 'Fire' and 'The Raft' - Triple Lesson!
