Deltora Quest - HUGE Supporting Slideshow - Multi-Age NESA Unit 5 Characterisation

This is a HUGE, 600+ page supporting slideshow for the new NESA Multi-Age English Unit (5) “Characterisation” which explicitly teaches these concepts using the mentor text, “Deltora Quest” by Emily Rodda.

This resource is a supporting slideshow which means it is linked to the Department of Education (NSW) unit of work which teaches Stage 2 and 3 students about characterisation. This unit of work is available for free on the NESA site (I’ve also included it in this resource). All the corresponding lessons are included in the slideshow, meaning this is a complete no-prep resource, when used in conjunction with the lesson guide.

Slides are full-colour, engaging and fun, whilst also encapsulating all the key concepts of the unit, so you don’t need to cross-reference or produce these yourself.

NOTE: This unit is presented ONLY as a non-editable series of PDFs. This is because the PPT files are too large to be uploaded to this platform.

This means that anyone (any state, any country) can pick up this unit and use it!

This unit of work is perfect for teaching, step-by-step, the effective composition of imaginative texts.

This unit of work focuses on characterisation, but also includes multiple mini-lessons which can be used across multiple types of text:

• word associations

• inferencing (local and global)

• noun-pronoun referencing

• subject-verb agreement

• adjectival clauses

• verbs and verb groups

• temporal, conditional and causal connectives

• first person narrative voice

• homonyms

• metaphors

• interrogative and exclamatory sentences

…and much more!

Simply put, this resource is everything you need to teach the new English curriculum in your Stage 2 or 3 classroom! All the hard work and preparation is done for you, so you can…teach!

This is a huge unit. It will take up a significant amount of storage space, so I recommend storage on Google Drive or similar.

Corresponding page numbers to the syllabus document from the NSW Department of Education are given in a coloured star in the corner of each slide.

Please note: this slideshow focuses on the complete learning pathway of Component B, with Component A embedded throughout as “mini -lessons” or concepts. There is not a stand-alone slideshow for Component A.

I have lots of other Literacy resources in my store (based on Australian content) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading
