The Little Wave - HUGE Supporting Slideshow - Multi-Age NESA Unit 6

This is a HUGE, 600+ page supporting slideshow for the new NESA Multi-Age English Unit (6) “Perspective and Context” which explicitly teaches these concepts using the mentor text, “The Little Wave” by Pip Harry

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 perspective and context. 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.

** NEW FEATURE** All programming notes are included in the PowerPoint version so you won’t need to cross-reference the program. Also, each week of PowerPoint contains a hyperlinked contents page for easy navigation.

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 perspective and context, but also includes multiple mini-lessons which can be used across multiple types of text:

• first-person narrative voice

• local and global inferencing

• adjectives

• antonyms and synonyms

• lexical cohesive devices

• nuances and subtleties

• adjectival clauses

• subordinating conjunctions

• non-finite verbs

• metaphors, hyperbole, allusion

…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!
