Thank you for looking at my resource.

This resource includes a fully comprehensive PowerPoint,worksheets/resources catering to a wide range of abilities and resource list.

Summary of learning objectives and task

Lesson 1
L.O To generate ideas for a character description
Children will design six aliens and choose their favourite.

Lesson 2
L.O To use adjectives to describe a character
Children will use their senses to write adjectives about their alien.

Lesson 3
L.O To use adjectives to describe a characters personality.
Children will write attributes to describe their alien.

Lesson 4
L.O To write a character description.
Children will write a description of their alien.

All lessons start with children solving a problem that can only be solved using the LO. e.g identifying a picture through a sentence that doesn’t contain expanded adjectives so it is impossible to identify the picture.Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving and having ownership of their own learning they develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding.

A helping hands task (supported task) is provided.
A chilli challenge is provided to extend learning. This should be given to all children. The ‘differentiation’ will be based on how children access the task.
