I have uploaded my 2 week Edgar The Dragon unit which includes SPaG, reading and writing lessons leading towards writing a character description about the famous Edgar The Dragon from the John Lewis advert. Differentiation of tasks is evident. VIPERS reading sessions include retrieval and inference. Success criterias are picture based to help student be successful independently!
I have uploaded my mini pirate poetry unit that is suitable for year 1 and 2. This unit is only 5 lessons (but could be spread further or tweaked to be less). The lessons include 2 reading lessons linking to the poem ‘I wish I was a pirate’ by Tony Bradman, followed by 2 writing lessons, 1 of which focuses on alliteration. Differentiation of tasks is evident for almost all, with the end visual success criterias adapted for all learners from year 1 and year 2. Success criterias are picture based throughout to help students be successful as independently as possible. The end product is a verse (or more for year 2 children) of a pirate poem using the word bank and structure given.
