Students use a diagram that shows a proposed site for a town that has a river running through it. Students identify where it would be best to collect drinking water, and how town planners could stop the town from flooding.
Students are given pictures of four different ways time can be measured (sundial, hourglass, candle with lines, clock). Students then explain how each can be used to measure time.
This focus of this resource is punctuating direct speech. Students drag speech marks, commas, and full stops into place to show where direct speech begins and ends. The resource ends with a collaborative writing activity. Students work with a partner to create and punctuate a conversation based on the characters in a photograph.
