Used this resource in class this week - works with fantastic results when students asked to complete second draft using 'Effective Connectives' - found a full table of these online and projected it. The difference between the Year 7 first-draft response compared to the second draft, incorporating 'and' highlighting the connectives was amazing in terms of the fluidity of their writing.
Currently using with Year 7's so they can achieve a snapshot of the entire storyline.
First-page summary used for shared classroom reading.
Then in pairs the students describe their own understanding of the story.
They then feed this information back to the whole class.
Then tackle a first draft - summary writing in their own words.
Finally, they complete a final draft of the summary, introducing connectives.
A four-page resource, printing double-sided 2 pages.
Very effective to achieve an general understanding of the novel through writing and discussion, not solely through reading.
