A newspaper article on working from home is the stimulus for this resource. The assessment focus is on looking at both sides of an issue, vocabulary and comprehension.
This resource assesses points of view on the issue of keeping score in sport, with the task being to match statements to the views expressed by four students.
The context of this task is a story about a power cut. Students identify the changing feelings of the children in the story and record these as a graph over time.
Students identify what type of people the characters in the story are and choose evidence from the text to justify their decisions; they also identify the main idea of the text. Suggestions for evaluating character and the author's style of characterisation are under the "Working with Students" tab.
Students use comprehension skills to answer a range of questions based on a newspaper story. Knowledge of adjectives and alliteration is also required.
