This is to help students revise their written work. I have broken it down into sections with specific things for them to focus on. I have created it as often children seem to struggle in this area. Hope it is useful. Any suggestions to add to this are welcome!

Punctuation and Grammar Challenge

(8)
A flashcard/self assessment challenge for pupils. I have put a few aspects of punctuation and sentence structure on here. The children are awarded points depending on the level of punctuation /connectives they use. I have tried to link this in with progression through the levels on the APP grids. It can easily be adapted. I tend to give children bonus points depending on what we are working on. For example: extra points for good openers. It seems to work well for both peer assessment and self assessment.

Famous Places in London with Tourist booklet

(6)
Flashcards of famous buildings in London from the present time for children to identify. I used this to introduce London as a place to see what the children already knew before looking at London 1666. The pictures can then be used to create a tourist brochure using the 'Visit London' file attached by matching up the correct pictures with the information. The children then fill in the missing information and present it to friends/family for their next visit to London.
