A set of materials I made based on the Marks and Spencer’s Food Adverts. The lesson objective was to use interesting adjectives in their writing. We watched M&S food adverts, as a class explored describing different foods and then wrote our own. Included… Weekly plan (just a few ideas in a weekly plan format including this lesson, you can make your own lesson plan with some of these ideas) Word bank for this lesson Video example of advert to pick out language QUALITY Presentation (the same one) in the following formats… Mac / iPad / Keynote Powerpoint Movie Format (Following this lesson, children then wrote their own advert using descriptive language and we filmed the advert.)

Back to the Future Activities / Futuristic/ Newspapers / Comprehension / Robots

(4)
I have designed a unique set of resources designed to engage children in Literacy. Also excellent for a futuristic topic. Please note this is a set of unique resources, not a unit of work or lesson plan. It is designed for teachers to ‘dip into’ as they wish or even as part of a whole school topic. There is tonnes of material and this took many hours to assemble. Resources Updated 2023 2015 was the year that in the Back to the Future films they visited the ‘future’. October was the month of ‘Back to the Future Day.’ The resources could be used as part of a thematic unit or within other units of the curriculum. Excellent for Newspapers and Non-Fiction writing opportunities in particular. Included in this resource pack… Multiple sets of Newspaper articles (edited by myself and made highly visual in worksheet form) with comprehension and activity worksheets I made for them. -Additional extension activities fitting the articles -Punctuation activity -Original trailer and Poster from the movie with activities I designed around them -The stuff the film got wrong! -Punctuation activity -Ideas for a Back to the Future week / day. -Display materials -Movie clips ‘making of’ -Hover Chase Video …and much more! Due to the popularity of this resources I have added some futuristic robot activities which tie in well with the topic! An up to the minute and current set of resources that children will love, especially boys and a brilliant way to encourage creative writing / comprehension skills as well as looking at the features of Newspapers. Designed for KS2 but could be easily differentiated for lower KS3. Please check my other resources out here… https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/dave_orritt

Ideal for a year 7-9 year olds and can be differentiated accordingly. This lesson involves following a short section of the film Shrek and its script that I have typed out.

Personality of a Character: Gollum /  The Hobbit / Character Description

Personality of a Character: Gollum / The Hobbit / Character Description

(1)
LO: Understand how writers portray character personality through writing. This is a lesson based on exploring the techniques a writer uses to show a characters personality and requires pupils to use the evidence from the text extract I have included from the book 'The Hobbit' it is an excellent extract featuring the character 'Gollum.' The Powerpoint I have made goes through the process of... S (speech) A (actions) D (description) Children can then annotate their text accordingly and / or draw the character with annotations. Highly adaptable for many ages. The 1970's version of the hobbit features a similar conversation on YouTube. BONUS I have included a snippet of the text from 'The Hobbit' an activity for children to highlight all the parts of the text that describe the hobbit / wizard and the house. They then draw a picture to match their highlights. The results can be compared to the artists impression I have included.
