These are my resources for teaching week 1 or ‘The Adventures of Odyssus’ to Year 4. This week we summarised the prologue, researched the main characters, learned about relative clauses and plan and wrote a persuasive letter for our Big Write. All resources are included…

Planned and taught to Year 4 students. LESSON 1: students will collect phrases to describe the Cyclops and then write a full description. (PPT + suggestions sheet for kids + PLAN) LESSON 2: students will dramatise the story of the Cyclops in a series of freeze frames. (PPT + prompt sheet for kids + PLAN) This is a marking-free photopage lesson! FREEBIE LESSON: graphic novel worksheet for Kids (odysseus).

This is a simple storyboard to help students organise the events of the book in chronological order. I have also included a Notebook presentation for this lesson with a starter/main activity/plenary included.

Simple PPT page explaining them. Can be printed for students books.
