Test style questions for pages 7 to 18 of The Iron Man. Differentiated for Higher, lower and SEN.
SEN questions are multiple choice.
I recommend printing these resources in booklet format.
I have written part of a narrative with a science fiction theme that helps children to identify cohesive devices.
The first activity asks children (higher ability) to identify fronted adverbials, adverbs and adverbials phrases.
The other activities focus solely on fronted adverbials and are slightly differentiated. There is an extension activity underneath asking children to add fronted adverbials to sentences.
A great activity for higher ability children or those who are confident using commas.
The starter activity reminds children of all the different uses.
The mian activity uses an extract from The Maze Runner. All the commas have been removed - children need to put them in the right place. There is a table showing children how any of each type is missing for support.
Answers included.
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.
Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.
These reading comprehensions use a number of reading skills including meaning of words in context and inference.
They are differentiated for higher ability and lower ability.
I do not own the image of the front cover used.
A matching and labeling activity for how structure and presentation of texts contribute to their meaning
Children need to match the device to the definition.
There is also an example text that uses all these devices that the children could label/find examples of each device
The activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability
Lots of activities for this reading skill from introduction right through the greater depth level! Some activities are differentiated for higher and lower ability.
A reading comprehension booklet with test style questions including multiple choice, meaning of words, author’s use of language and structure.
Differentiated for 2 levels of challenge
Booklet with non-fiction text on Pompeii and retrieval question.
Each question states how many marks can be gained.
The HA booklet has less multiple choice questions. The SEN booklet has multiple choice questions and the text is shorter with fewer tricky words.
Comprehension questions for chapter 11 and chapter 12 up to page 47 for Fantastic Mr Fox. Questions cover a range of reading skills and are differentiated for higher and lower.
Each activity has 2 versions - a sticker version and a normal A4 plain paper version
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.
