Description

Now includes a full digital pack.

• A detailed lesson plan for each journal article or story. You can use this as a guide or follow it step by step during your guided reading session.

• A table that highlights the journal name, the article or story name, the reading and thinking skills included in the follow-up activities and the name of the creative activity that is included.
• Two follow up activities for each journal article or story.
  • The first activity includes Remember, Understand, Apply, and Evaluate higher-order thinking skills and a range of reading comprehension skills including finding specific information, making inferences, making connections, using prior knowledge, summarising, using evidence, and sharing opinions. Do all or some of the activities.
  • The second activity is creative and involves the synthesizing of information and the higher-order thinking skills of analysing and creating.
• A full set of answer guides.

• A Setting the Scene document AND PowerPoint presentation to hook the students into the activities.
• This includes a ”How it works” page that explains the resource though a simple visual flow chart.

• A coloured mosaic template to show the finished mosaic design.
• 18 coloured tile pieces for students to cut out and glue onto their black and white mosaic template.
