How to use English Knowledge Retrieval Topic Task Cards?
These cards are perfect as an extension task, starter or plenary and as a means of testing knowledge upon completion of a unit. For a short task (extension/starter/plenary), you can simply give them one or two cards and differentiate which cards are given according to the students level or their areas needing improvement. For an end of unit, you could hand the cards out to different groups and have them switch the cards after a certain period of time (e.g. one group gets multiple choice, one group gets spot the mistakes, one group gets photocards, etc.).

Why is reading Important Assembly
Jack and the beanstalk story I wrote which includes punctuation within KS1 curriculum to recognise (fronted adverbials, commas, exclamation marks etc.). Talk 4 writing story map I drew to match story. This also includes a boxing up template I made for fairytale genre. The left side you can write a sentence from the beginning of the story i.e Jack sold his cow for some magic beans. On the right hand side the chi can change it to their own story which is great structure, i,e Scarlett sold her pug for some sparkling seeds. In the middle of the template is extra vocabulary to discuss, in my lesson we spoke about the meaning of a dilemma and a resolution. The last page is the story of Jack and the beanstalk we adapted as a class to our own.
Also includes a prompt sheet for chi to get ideas from for their own stories.
It is a 4 page document altogether.
This resource has been developed for KS3 as a creative way of looking at genre and the fairy tale genre in particular.
Comes with a 34-page Student booklet to complete, and matching 34-page Teacher booklet complete with answers/suggested answers.
Topics covered:
Genre
Narrative Structure
Stereotypes
Theme
Media
Character
Film making roles
Overview
By using the beloved film ‘Shrek’ as a reference point, pupils are encouraged to develop their understanding of genre both visually and in written form. Narrative structure is touched upon in order to develop an understanding of the variety of narratives available, and particularly looking at the idea of the ‘fractured fairytale’. Stereotypes are looked at, specifically to draw attention to the inversion of type integral to the plot line of ‘Shrek’. A range of non-fiction information is also referenced, looking at the idea of ‘Shrek’ as a media product.
