A fun and handy match-up starting task with extension activity, especially good for dis-engaged boys or smaller groups. Tried and tested resource.
Pack includes seven different motorcycles for students to match with seven descriptions and an extension activity. The activity works students close reading skills and attention to detail, as they have to correctly identify key words in the description in order to arrive at the correct solution. It is also easy to encourage an extension questioning session by asking what students would prefer and how they think that reflects their personalities.

Zombie Land – Terror at the Fun Fair
Highly engaging, zombie creative writing lesson, in which students work from a given scenario in order to write their own engaging horror story.
The scenario:
It started out as a fun night at the fairground. You and a group of friends letting your hair down and unwinding after a hard week at school.
However, soon it becomes clear that something is not quite right. A cold wind blows a chill into the night and you hear strange noises over the beat of fairground music.
Suddenly, an eerie darkness descends and all goes quiet. Fairground rides come to a standstill and wild groans and screaming can be heard over the chatter of panic.
You and a friend are stuck on the ghost train and desperately trying to find your way outside in the darkness. Outside, it is only then that you realise that the real terror has only just begun.
Welcome to your nightmare…
Highly attractive Power Point includes:
* Full lesson scenario
* Starter task
* Survival objectives
* Planning sheet
* Writing and discussion prompts
* Interactive ‘zombie bingo’ with callers card and 30 individual bingo cards (from myfreebingo.com)
