This engaging and thought-provoking double-lesson resource aids students in developing a secure understanding of the chapters 3 and 4 of Katherine Rundell’s 'The Explorer.’ The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentation enables students to understand the text through: -Retrieving information; -Inferring and deducing hidden meanings; -Sequencing key events from the text. The sessions include a range of retrieval, vocabulary, inference, explanation and deeper thinking activities. A clear, colourful and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation guides students through the learning. The lesson also includes an answer key for the retrieval questions, and model answer ideas for the more detailed responses. There’s a lot here (18 slides in total) so I would recommend possibly splitting the content of two lessons. The lessons are suitable for students in KS2 (with only minor adaptations, I have used the resources in the past with children from years 3 to 5).
