Writing and responding to a painting - Mondrian

Writing and responding to the painting ‘Broadway Boogie Woogie’ by Mondrian. It would be useful to look at a version of the image on the whiteboard in class, so that there is better quality of image for discussion, than the image on the worksheet. Visual literacy questions to prompt discussion or writing. There is another TES resource available linked to this, so please check out my other Mondrian resource.

Build vocabulary - a picture Word a Day

(0)
This is a free sample of a Word a Day resource that I have made with over 600 words. The bought resource provides a big enough word a day collection for 3 and a half school years. There is a related picture and synonym to aid comprehension. I hope it will be a way for whole schools to increase the vocabulary of their pupils, through use in lessons, newsletters or assemblies. Aimed at KS3, KS4 and KS5 but the word a day may also have some application with able pupils in upper KS2.
