Age 10-11- Mars Reading Round Robin Session 3- Reading Comprehension

This is a guided reading comprehension (30 minutes) in a round robin rotation of activities. We use reading comprehension strategies to answer five questions on the first extract from the War of the Worlds text. The session is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales).

It is the third session in a unit based around a mission to Mars with Literacy, Maths and other Curriculum lessons planned. Optional lesson preparation is provided to recap strategies. There is also support with a text background and tricky word explanation and meaning. Marking is also provided.

There is a lesson plan which includes:

• suggested links to curriculums;
• notes to provide lesson support;
• main, groups and plenary sections with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
• sections of the lesson linked to Blooms taxonomy;
• PowerPoint presentations to support teaching;
• differentiated group activities; and
• consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles

Thankyou,
