Proof read, edit and improve writing activities

Proof read, edit and improve writing activities

(0)
This bundle of activities are fantastic for teaching children how to proof read and spot mistakes in writing. The two booklets contain three different activities using extracts from Roald Dahl stories. First pupils look at punctuation errors, then common spelling mistakes and finally improving grammar and vocabulary. Both booklets are the same but the LA has fewer mistakes to find. The extension activity brings all these skills together. The column with hints down the side could easily be removed for more able children. The lesson 2 activities also bring all these skills together, with a table to support pupils in ensuring they have found ALL the errors. Again, the LA document has fewer errors to find.

Activity for identifying and using abstract verbs

(0)
A two part activity that requires pupils to identify the abstract verb n each sentence. They will then be given a choice of abstract verbs to use in sentences. A good activity for more able pupils to complete during grammar lessons on verbs.

Reading skill: Inference and deduction (includes a mastery activity)

(0)
Two activities based on using inference and deduction. Both have been differentiated slightly for higher and lower ability pupils. The first activity gives a situation. Children have to use clues to decide how the character is feeling and what must have happened to them. The mastery activity uses a paragraph of fiction in a familiar setting. There are test-style questions underneath, with more scaffolding/multiple choice for lower ability pupils.

Reading skill - Identifying the main idea (Powerpoint, first activity, mastery activity)

(0)
The powerpoint introduces pupils to this skill including why it is important. There is an example which models the first activity well. The first activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability pupils. The mastery activity has less scaffolding and again is differentiated two ways. Finally there is an application booklet which has test style questions based on this reading skill.

English - Develop characters through action and dialogue

English - Develop characters through action and dialogue

(0)
A great activity to help children think about different types of characters and how they would react in different situations. This can provide a stimulus for writing narratives or playscripts. The starter is a group activity where children match dialogue and action to a well-known character. The powerpoint looks at this in a little more depth. The main activity gives children 4 different characters. Children need to imagine they just crash landed in a jungle and come up with dialogue and an action for each one.
