Shared/Guided Reading lesson based on the story ‘Journey to Jo’Burg’. This was used to inspire these kids and completely engage them with the story. My idea is for the starter, display three questions (see planning) and get them to write their answers in groups on post-it notes. Then stick them up on the IWB on a picture of South Africa (also in resources). This will engage them straight away with the text and what’ll happen. Then you’ll move on to explaining that the idea is to focus on what a dilemma is and what it is in this chapter. (The chapter is linked on the planning and you can download it as a pdf). The children should have a hard copy in front of them and together you will make a success criteria of what a good, interesting reader sounds like. Get them to critique you reading in a boring way. Children to sort pre-made laminated statements into positives and negatives about going to Jo’Berg. In groups children will then engage in a conscience alley (role-play) to thrash out both sides of a dilemma. You can do it as a whole class or small groups either. Children really get into the story this way and feel they’re helping Naledi choose her dilemma. Great, engaging lesson. Really enjoyed it!

This is a simple, black and white, hand-illustrated creativity sheet for EYFS pupils. It offers a single line (at the top) for descriptive writing, with the starter words “Fish are”. The space below is filled with a picture, drawn from imagination and observation, of a fish in an underwater setting. The resource supports multiple curricular areas, namely: Literacy, Expressive Arts & Design and Physical Development (fine motor skills) and Understanding The World. The attractive design has been proven to motivate young children to think up and try to write descriptive words for the fish, and to experiment with colours and pencil control in colouring the picture. Prepare for use by inspiring interest, building understanding and eliciting appropriate describing words. This can be done by showing pictures or videos of fish in the sea, looking at some in an aquarium, reading a story about a fish and enacting them together. Prompt for a range of familiar and less usual describing words, such as ‘shiny’, ‘scaly’, ‘fast’, ‘floaty’, ‘swimming’, ‘twitchy’, ‘darting’, ‘wet’, ‘sparkly’, ‘deep’, ‘pretty’, ‘colourful’, ‘bright’, ‘blue’, ‘red’, ‘green’, ‘silver’ and ‘gold’. Encourage ‘having a go’ and ‘sounding out’ the words.

Key words that students need to define to form a glossary. Useful as a revision and/or homework activity for students from KS3/KS4.
