Authors and Illustrators ACELT1605 Create a mind map in a

group demonstrating conventions and techniques used while composing fairy tales

Utilise ICT to communicate and share ideas among a group of people

Assessing students interpretation and understanding of how authors construct fairy tales

Assessing students ability to work together

Observation checklist

Teacher will be able to view students mind maps via Dropbox

Learning experience: Introduce lesson and showcase the motivation video found on the homepage Highlight the introduction page which shows the memory jogging video Explain first task, allow students a brief period of time to complete the readings and mind

map Run through Dropbox set up and show the video used to demonstrate Dropbox account

set up Conclude lesson, recapping what was done and what will be done in the upcoming lesson.

Provisions for Learner Diversity: Students will be provided with open ended tasks aligned with Blooms Taxonomy allowing

students to explore various avenues of work Students are to be grouped in heterogeneous groups to encourage peer learning and

support each other through the tasks Relevant hardware and software made available for students who have disabilities

Key questions: How do authors make setting interesting to readers? Do the illustrations help the author

do this? Think about why a certain event in a story may be important. How do we tell which scenes

are key to a story? Why is it important to think about the way fairy tales are written? Do you think this will help

us think about the way other stories are written? Why do you think certain events in the story made you feel or see things in a certain way?

I want you to think about the way the illustrations were drawn and words were used.

Characters ACELT1605 Create a mind map

independently describing a character, its appearance and attributes. Making it 3D.

Write a characters introduction into a story using descriptive language.

Assessing students use of descriptive language

Assessing students capability on ICT (Mind map, Word)

Assessing students literacy and grammar.

Learning experience: Introduce lesson, linking back to fairy tales and what makes them engaging (as covered

in lesson one). Go on to explain how crucial 3D characters are, and how they can also engage readers throughout stories.

Explain first task, and monitor their creation of characters. Give the students a brief period to complete this task.

Flow into next task, explaining and guiding students by showing examples and giving them a checklist of what they need to look at in order to complete this.

Once they have all completed this explain the next task. Show the students the teachers example. Once they have given theirs a go, teacher makes sure that each student is visited and given extra help. Push descriptive language.

Once all done and teacher happy with these, explain to the students that they need to upload these onto their drop box account. Do a quick recap on how to do this.

Provisions for learner diversity: Students who have trouble using ICT will be seated at the front of the class Appropriate ICT and hardware will be available for students who have trouble navigating

through the topics and tasks. Key questions:

How do authors create interesting characters? What is a three dimensional character? What do authors need to think about when creating characters? Why is it so important to use descriptive language

Plot ACELT1605 (Elaboration ii) Identify key events in a fairy

tale narrative and justify why these events are pivotal in the narrative

Explain how and why authors and illustrators make readers care about the key events in a story using a shared Google document

Students identification of key points will be assessed through anecdotal jottings and overseen through Google Docs made available through the share function

The process the students will be used shall be assessed via anecdotal jottings

The product of students labours is to be assessed through marking via the shared Dropbox account

Learning experience: Introduce lesson, linking back to the previous lesson - how authors and illustrators use the

plot to create a sense of emotion in the reader. Discuss the beginning, middle and ending of a plot, and what elements are used during

these sections of the story. Mention that the basis of all stories is the plot, which is the foundation everything rests

upon Ask the students to navigate https://edpuzzle.com/home Students will create a student account Teacher to share the link to the video clip/multiple choice quiz. Students to take note (Microsoft Word Document) of correct answers in the multiple choice

quiz. Students to transfer their notes into a https://bubbl.us mindmap Teacher to help students with exporting their https://bubbl.us mindmap Students to save a copy of their https://bubbl.us mindmap in their already created dropbox

folder, and share a link with the teacher. Provisions for Learner Diversity:

Teacher to provide a fairy tale childrens book and work closely alongside lower achieving learners in teaching about the pivotal points in the plot (i.e. beginning, middle, end).

Higher achieving students to find a youtube.com fairy tale and follow same procedure (identifying the beginning, middle and end points of a story).

Key Questions What kind of plot structure do you think your favourite fairy tale uses? Do you think fairy tales all use a similar plot type? What does this plot type look like? How do you think you would structure the plot of your own fairy tale? Would there be a

happy ending? Why do you think plot is an important part of a story? Is this the case for fairy tales? If not,

how come you dont think so?

Your turn ACELT1605 Create their own fairy tale,

quite vague but including a beginning, middle and end.

Actively use ICT (such as photo story) to portray the events within their story

Work individually to create these, no help from peers.

Assessing students use of ICT that may not have been used before. Such as photostory

Assessing students knowledge in searching for free images

Assessing students creativity, and how well they can apply these into writing

Assessing students ability to store information covered in previous lessons and apply it to current

Learning experience: Introduce lesson, explain to students that everything covered in previous lessons are

going to be applied into this one. Do a quick recap of what has been covered. Ask the students to navigate back to ExaminingLiterature.Weebly.com and paraphrase

the tasks to them, guiding the students through what will be covered and explaining what the teacher will be looking for within their stories.

Navigate the student onto Microsoft word, explain that they are to write a short story which takes their character through a small problem.

Teach the students (who do not already know) how to search for free images, and tell them to be creative with background images and setting.

Then get students to implement this onto photostory, teacher will give example up on projector teaching the students how to upload images and showing exactly what is expected. (very simple, just background images and character images with the writing from word portraying the story)

Guide students through uploading this onto their dropbox account and sharing this with the teacher. Then conclude the lesson.

Provisions for Learner Diversity: Heterogeneous pairing (consistent with the previous weeks) allowing students to peer

learn The provision of open ended tasks to give students at all stages of the learning

spectrum opportunities to meaningfully engage in the task. The students can write at their own level and however much they are capable of. There will be no set limit for the whole class, teacher will just judge on whether or not the student has actively contributed to the lesson, and done it to the best of their ability.

Key Questions: What will you be focusing on when writing your own story? What pattern do you need to follow to make sure your story fits into the theme of fairy

tales? How many negative events should your character go through in a short story? Why? Should your story end exactly how it begins?
