Do you struggle to get your students to write creatively in your literacy sessions? -This resource is designed to encourage reluctant writers to create their own characters using templates and scaffolds to help build vocabulary and utilise the senses and incorporate them into their writing. -The blank faces give students the opportunity to be creative with their characters and explore emotions, alongside heroes and villains. Encourage them to break with traditional stories and gender -Sterotyping… make the princess the villain in your story, or create an angry cinderalla…who is not at all happy about being treated the way that she is that she starts to think about revenge. -Students can have great fun with these activities, and creative with their drawings. This results often in often funny and engaging stories which students love to share with their peers.

Teaching Suggestions •Show your students images of different objects. •Next to each word is a list of three ‘banned’ words •Children must describe the object without using any of the given words. •There is a 2-minute timer on each page to add some excitement to the activity. •NO HAND GESTURES OR MIMING ALLOWED •This can be played in teams, or with single players. •Ideal for use with second language learners, to encourage using a wider vocabulary and to speak clearly and succinctly to the group. •This makes for a perfect lesson filler, introductory ice breaker or as a brain break in your classes. •You have been provided with a PDF and PowerPoint version of the game so that it can be printed off onto cards and used for individual students to look at yet hide from their peers. •The PowerPoint version can be used on a variety of devices or on the IWB. ( the rest of the class need to turn away from the board while the image of the object is shown). Students can then click on the timer which is the prompt for the rest of the class to turn around and begin guessing what the object may be from the clues given by the student chosen to be the ‘describer’.

Do you need a set of Real life Pictures for Number talks in your classrooms? Then this is the set for you The value of using authentic images in your math lessons and rotations-Mathematics educators have long known that engaging students in visual representations of mathematics is extremely helpful for their learning. Utilizing imagery and visual memory can be very helpful when learning mathematics such as proportions. A single picture can help a student define and remember a concept, or it can even help them to recall the steps required to compute a problem. -Students need daily opportunities to engage with mathematical ideas in purposeful and playful ways. -They provide time for authentic, independent practice that connects to what they have learned through whole class quality instruction. -Students need opportunities to develop the core and curricular competencies. Through the ‘doing’ of the mathematics, students will be building their confidence of themselves as mathematicians and seeing the connection of mathematics to  their world. -They give students choice, which increases motivation and fosters a positive disposition towards Mathematics. -They give teachers an opportunity to meet with students one-on-one or in small groups to provide explicit instruction, engage in guided math, and/or have conferences. The images are divided into 5 sets with teaching suggestions for each one. -Set 1- Arrays and Multiplication. Tesselations -Set 2- Working mathematically -Set 3- Growing Patterns -Set 4- Estimation -Set 5 - Shape and Design -Set 6- Graphing and interpreting data from images -Set 7- Coordinates and mapping What people have said about this product Extremely satisfied "We used this resource to get students in a routine during the beginning of math sessions during virtual learning. I post the picture and ask the students, “What do you see?” They describe the objects, count them, talk about patterns and many other mathematical concepts and ideas.

Use these quick writing starters to get the brain ticking over. These are best used as a timed activity with students given a short amount of time 1-15 minutes to work on their writing.

Students may be encouraged to work further on one of these ideas. Use the dice template for a different variation of characters settings and problems with a multitude of combinations.
