This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s comprehension skills whilst developing their understanding of Viking Longboats.
The original information text includes the following sections:
-What are Viking longships?
-How did Viking longships move?
-What were Viking longships used for?
-Life on a longship
-How were longships decorated?
-Famous longships in history
-Why are longships important today?
The resource pack includes the extract and all of the activities for the session, which the class are guided through via a comprehensive and engaging PowerPoint presentation. The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions, fact-checking and deeper thinking activities.
An additional scaffolded worksheet for children needing additional support/ structure is also provided (in both Word and PDF).
The session is best suited for children in lower KS2, but with minor adaptations may be used for slightly older and younger year groups.
