This resource has been designed for Year 5 learners following the Cambridge International Curriculum.
The writers were asked to pick a scene from a short selection of clips from Alice in Wonderland (from YouTube), and we asked to write the scene from the point of view of one of the characters.
The assessment rubric comes with a themed planning sheet to get them started.
Originally for a group of Year 5 learners, this support material is fully editable. The essay topic was whether wearable tech should be allowed in schools, however, it can be edited to suit your needs.
Page 1 is an overall guide to writing a persuasive essay, therefore, it can be used for generic use.
Rubric included.
Please find attached the pdf of a Nearpod lesson, to assist with teaching the story elements to KS2 learners.
When you upload the pdf to Nearpod, you may have to reinsert the videos and activities, however, the majority of the lesson can just be inserted as individual slides.
The lesson structure is as follows:
Collaborative discussion
Introduction to learning objectives
