@Team_English1 does anyone have a scheme of learning, tried and tested, that they loved for A Monster Calls?
I have never taught it before and have very weak Year 8 boys I’d love to do the text with but need a starting point. I’d be super grateful. LitDrive user, but no luck!
@SusanSEnglish@Team_English1 😭 so sorry, no luck yet. I’d honestly do anything for some help. I’ll send you my work email instead to see if that works! x
Using engaging hook texts like Stephen King's 'IT' allows us to develop an understandong of LP1 Q2 without feel too heavy for the first visit! 🤡🎪 Always a good start to the topic and the perfect way to end the first full week back✅
Reframing LP1 Q3 to a "What - When - Why" has helped massively in our grasp of tackling the question and its demands👊 Using film clips and trailers has been pivotal in exploring the WHY and ensuring we fully expand our comments🦈⛱️
Whole-class feedback from yesterday's piece ready the next day to explicitly capture our LP1 Q3 structure 👊 Quick feedback, explicit instruction and a much better understanding of the 'When' and 'Why Now' in particular ✅
Really happy with today's progress responding to our recent assessment - focusing on AO2 🎯 Colour coded structure strips, WAGOLLs, quote explosions and clear progress visible for all. We keep working 👊
👻🏚️Question 3 with our new approach of What - How - When - Why Now? Much clearer understanding of the demands of the question by the end of the lesson☺️
@editorteach@teachwire Hi @editorteach do you still have working copies of these? They’ve been removed from the Google drive and I’m sooo gutted! I would be so appreciative if you have them!
