I made this powerpoint following an amazing CPD session with Ashley Booth to test out with my class and they LOVED it. Even my most reluctant readers were really engaged and my greater depth readers were abuzz the rest of the day. This lesson is on the first chapter of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It includes all pages of the first chapter, vocabulary work using pictures, Individual Thinking tasks, Partner talk and two choices for Solo Tasks. Personally, I’m going to continue using the template for my subsequent lessons and obviously you can too should you wish to!
