Harry Potter Themed Addition and Subtraction

Differentiated (3 ways) - a set of Harry Potter themed word problems that the children used column addition to solve.

Just a bit of fun - this could be used when teaching French on a themed day such as World Book Day or maybe a Harry Potter themed event is taking place at your school. It is a short (5 question) quiz that shows how the titles of Harry Potter books have been translated, and the characters, so it could be used as a starter. I would probably use it to elicit a brief discussion about whether people’s names should be translated - or not - in this case, they often need translating, as the name also conveys the character, a bit (like Miss Honey in Matilda) in the French translations of the Harry Potter books, many characters have different names e.g Snape = Rogue, but in the German translations, they are not altered - can give older children an idea about the subtleties of translating! **Tip: **I have used a special Harry Potter font (which I love!) to make it more relatable. This can be easily downloaded for free with a quick internet search.

All questions have page numbers and are complete with a learning objective and labeled which ‘Part’ it is. You will also have one whole Smart Notebook slides which are organised into folders for each chapter, that shows the questions and a separate slide for the answers. (I’m really sorry I’ve tried to convert it unsuccessfully to Powerpoint so this isn’t available). This took hours to put together and I love that I might be able to save someone that time. Enjoy!

A persuasive writing lesson for KS3 on Harry Potter. Students either pick a House from the ‘Sorting Hat’ or are assigned a House and must persuade Professor Dumbledore that this is where they belong based on characteristics they look at earlier in the lesson. Includes differentiated tasks, writing frames, starters, checklists and video clip links. A light hearted persuasive task, probably best for those who have already been introduced to techniques.
