Description
The Myths lesson set is a comprehensive English resource for KS2 students centred around famous myths like King Midas, Thor, and Theseus. While boosting literacy skills, these lessons seamlessly integrate evidence-based learning techniques to develop critical thinking, metacognition, collaboration, and more.
The myths serve as an engaging base for activities like close reading, comprehension questions, creative writing, comparison tasks, and group discussion. Different lessons focus on different key skills – from using Bloom’s taxonomy to structure increasingly complex queries to peer assessment of student writing.
Teachers are supported in improving their own evidence-based practice through the inclusion of 5-minute CPD extracts summarising academic research on collaboration, self-assessment etc. The lessons tick all the boxes in advancing both English and learning abilities.
Key strengths of this set include:
– Fun content centred around famous myths
– Integration of proven learning techniques like metacognition, collaboration, self-assessment and peer assessment
– Scaffolded development of literacy skills
– Explicit teaching of evidence-based methods
– CPD elements to improve teacher practice
With their blend of rich subject matter and research-backed activities, these lessons earn top marks. Easy to deliver and packed with literacy skill development and lifelong learning competencies, they are a gem for upper primary English teaching.
