Adventure Stories (KS2, KS3) Creative Writing Lessons x4 and Worksheets

(0)
Four creative writing lessons and planning worksheets on the theme of ‘Adventure’. Suitable for KS2 and KS3 students. I used these series of lessons to help students prepare for an extended piece of imaginative writing. Each lesson follows the same format: Show an image and ask students to jot down their initial impressions and what they can see. Pair and Share their ideas. 2 Individually, students choose a number between 1-10. Each number corresponds to a character they must write as. 3 Then students choose a second number between 1-5. Each number corresponds to what they must write about. 4 Students are given a planning sheet and must spend time deciding key components of their writing- plot/character/setting 5 For the rest of the lesson (or as a homework task) they must complete an extended piece of adventure writing. 6 Peer assessment- students swap and read another piece of work. They must comment on the things that went well and the specific marking criteria.

Around the World Summer Camp- DAY 1 (Geography, KS2 KS3, EFL)

(0)
This was originally taught to Korean Middle School EFL students for a fun art and craft/cooking camp however it is written entirely in English. The aim of this summer camp is for the students to have fun and to learn about different countries and cultures around the world. Each day will focus on a different country and we will learn some facts, look at famous places, food and do an art and craft activity associated with the country. At the start of each day students will guess the country. When I reveal the flag they must copy it onto their ‘passport’ sheet. If students behave well or win a task they receive a sticker on their passport. The student with the most stickers at the end of the camp will win a prize. Day 1: Introduce the summer camp and different monuments and buildings around the world. Today focuses on lots of games and team building activities so that everyone gets to know each other.  Activity 1: Icebreaker Students are given a ‘passport worksheet where they write their name, age, favorite food, favorite place in Korea and three places they would like to visit in the future. They should complete this quite quickly 5-10 minutes. When everyone has finished I pass the ball and when they catch it the student must say something about themselves and introduce themselves to the rest of the class.  Team game (1): Guess where it is from Students look at the famous buildings/monuments from around the world. In teams they must guess which country they think it is from. The team with the most correct will win travel stickers in their passport.  Team game (2): Build a tower In teams students have 30minutes to build a monument/tower using only dried spaghetti, peppero sticks and marshmallows. They have to work together as a team and at the end they can win points based on how tall, how wide and how unique their building is. The winning team gains stickers for their passport.  Lunch Students are given cooked sausage, cucumbers, crackers and cube cheese. Individually on their plate they have to cut slices and try to build the tallest tower. The person with the tallest ‘tower’ wins a sticker for their passport. They can then eat these and the snacks from earlier for lunch.  Team game (3): Jenga race In teams students take it in turns to race forwards and take a block out of the jenga tower. They must then run back to their team and try to build another structure. The team with the tallest structure at the end (whose original building hasn’t fallen over!) are the winners and gain stickers for their passports.  Art and Crafts Using clay, students must make a small keyring or magnet in the shape of a famous building or monument from the lesson. Seoul Tower, Eiffel Tower, Pyramid, Big Ben etc.
