A PointPoint that contains the scaffolding of a lesson using The Dragon Machine. Our school followed the Pathways to Write planning scheme but the lesson can be adapted to suit the needs of your class and planning scheme. This PowerPoint is simply a good starting point to adapt and edit your lesson.
The slides are:
Lesson - To ask relevant questions
Picture of ‘mysterious eggs’ - expanded noun phrases to describe them
A series of images from the book - what can you see?
3.Observe, explain, ask table to be filled in (This is already filled in with the class when I did the lesson so will text will need to be removed - good for ideas)
