30 lessons – ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell – Year 4/5/6 – English planning
30 lessons – ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell – Year 4/5/6 – English planning
A whole term’s English planning linked to the book ‘The Explorer’ (Winner of the Children’s Book Prize Winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award 2017) by Katherine Rundell. This story fits well with any topic linked work about South America, as it is set in the Amazon Rainforest.
Ideal for Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 children.
There are 30 lessons in total, all with SMART Notebook screens, task sheets and header sheets.
To assist teaching, there are a total of 149 SMART Notebook screens and each lesson is clearly marked along with which lesson each chapter should be read to aid and link to the learning.
(Update - I personally use SMART Notebook files in my own lessons. In response to many requests, I have converted the SMART Notebook screens to Powerpoint, so there is also a Powerpoint presentation included for the teaching sequence for those unable to use SMART Notebook. However, please note that while the SMART Notebook screens can be edited, the Powerpoint screens can not be edited as they are screen snips from the SMART Notebook file.)
This planning includes:
Writing a narrative
Writing a persuasive letter
SATs style comprehension questions
Journal writing
Writing an information text
Recording a radio broadcast
This book and planning link well with topic work on South America, Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest and the Yanomami indigenious tribe. It will also educate and inform the children of a very current real problem that others in the world face - the destruction of the rainforest.
