This engaging and informative lesson enables students to make precise interpretations of the descriptive language used by Michael Morpurgo in his description of Michael’s trip around the world in ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom.’ They learn to define, identify, and analyse the effectiveness of a range of descriptive devices, before applying these to form their own vivid and imaginative descriptions of places. The lesson follows a step-by-step learning journey, in which children learn through: Understanding the scale of the journey that Michael’s family undertakes, through a fun cross-curricular task; Defining each of the different types of descriptive devices, through completing an interactive group activity; Reading extracts from the text in which Michael describes the different places along his trip, and identifying the language techniques used to paint an image of place in the minds of the readers; Analysing the effectiveness of each of Morpurgo’s descriptive devices; Creating their own description of an ‘around the world trip’, utilising appropriate and effective descriptive devices to describe at least two different stops; Peer assessing each other’s learning attempts. Included is: Whole lesson PowerPoint - colourful and comprehensive; Cards for the Card Sorting Activity;’ World Map for the opening activity; Writing to Describe Helpsheet Comprehensive Lesson Plan All resources are provided in Word (for easy editing) and PDF (to ensure formatting remains fixed between different computers). There are also opportunities for group learning, speaking and listening, peer assessment, and whole class discussion. I originally used these resources with year 4 and 5 classes, however colleagues have used them for between years 3 and 8 with some adaptations. The word documents are within the zip file.

Snakes and Ladders’ Games for Positive Behaviour Management and PHSE: with editable Target-Setting proformas in Microsoft Word. (Format: A3 COLOUR/ / A4 COLOUR / GREYSCALE) This game is one of a set of 11 different games, also offered in the Shop as “a bundle”. Each game is designed in the familiar format of a “snakes and ladders” game but the squares also have descriptions of situations and behaviours which typically occur in all classrooms and playgrounds. The ladders’ squares describe positive behaviours, and the snakes’ squares have descriptions of behaviours which negatively affect learning and relationships. The titles of the full set are listed below: How do you deal with angry feelings? What is “Bullying”? Bullying - How do you deal with it? Are you a good friend? How do you behave in class? Do you follow the School’s Code of Conduct? Do you look after your environment? Do you work well in a group? Are you well-organised for the school day? How should you behave on a school trip? Do you try to work hard at school? The games have been successful as a springboard for target-setting at KS2 and the early years of KS3. When laminated, they provide a permanent resource for your class and for future year groups. The statements in the games promote discussion which facilitates a focussed but non-judgemental approach to target-setting. The teacher/mentor chooses one or more of the games relating to difficulties that are pertinent to an individual or group. The student/s agree on the targets that they are confident to be able to achieve. The games which focus on friendship, anger management and bullying have also proven useful following incidents of conflict between individuals. The class plays a game, or different games, in pairs. If they play different games, the pairs can rotate and move on to another game. The teacher calls the class together for discussion with the most important targets agreed upon. Games can be chosen according to issues that need to be addressed. We have included editable Target Charts for whole class/groups and individuals., where teacher or students can type in the agreed targets which are ideally expressed in positive language. NB: The teacher MUST establish a rule at the beginning that no-one’s name should be mentioned when discussing behaviours. Their contributions can be written by the teacher on the “board” using the template provided in the worksheet section. We have provided examples of responses you might expect. We have also provided a worksheet which students could complete at home, or in a small group, where they have privacy to write their responses. Again, the “No Names” rule should apply. The teacher can then review these statements, see which issues are identified by the majority of students, and then establish whole class targets. The games have also been successful in lunch-time Games Clubs., and in “workshop” settings as part of a day focussing on Bullying and Friendship.
