A set of materials I made based on the Marks and Spencer’s Food Adverts.
The lesson objective was to use interesting adjectives in their writing.
We watched M&S food adverts, as a class explored describing different foods and then wrote our own.
Included…
Weekly plan (just a few ideas in a weekly plan format including this lesson, you can make your own lesson plan with some of these ideas)
Word bank for this lesson
Video example of advert to pick out language
QUALITY Presentation (the same one) in the following formats…
Mac / iPad / Keynote
Powerpoint
Movie Format
(Following this lesson, children then wrote their own advert using descriptive language and we filmed the advert.)
A collection of some of my best bookmarked sites. These have been collected by me over MANY years and some are literally GEMS! I hope this helps some people out. Please comment if you find useful!
UPDATED with LOTS more resources
Perfect for Years 3-5 when studying non-chronological reports / information writing, with differentiated worksheets, great for getting boys interested!
I have updated this popular pack of resources with much much more.
Now includes…
-Online ‘Prezi’ I made (an online animated Presentation ready to use) .
This really is extremely useful and took a TON of time to make, the link is at the bottom of the lesson plan to access and can be used online to present the whole topic.

-Example of shared write and completed notes
-‘Big Cat’ information book to print and use for additional information.

We gave our classes a homework project based around finding about an animal of their choice. These sheets were given out once a week to help guide them with 'how to write a homework project.&' They can obviously be adapted.
