NON-FICTION TEXT PRESENTATION

This is a great way to present information in a creative, fun way. The information circles can be easily adapted.   My students and I are really enjoying researching and presenting their non fiction texts and have also included descriptions and poems.  The picture is an example of a simple information circle that I have used as an an example with my students, encouraging them to be imaginative and create theirs in their own style.  

Converting Fractions, Decimals and Percentages

I have used this visual strategy to support students converting fractions, decimals and percentages.

When someone says, "I can't do this," just add the word YET

I have used this strategy with several students who have sadly lost confidence in their learning abilities.  Usually I print it off, replacing the word someone with the students name and put it in their folder so they can see it or can I can access it quickly, reminding them that it is o.k not to understand or too find the learning tricky.

HOW TO MAKE AN EIGHT PAGE BOOKLET


This is a resource I return to frequently.  It can be used for so many things such as: creating non-fiction texts, story writing, maths facts or revision hints.  Many of my students have learned to make these booklets and enjoy using them.   

     1.     Fold one piece of A4 paper in half.









2.  Fold it in half again (quarters).












3.  Fold it in half again (eighths).









4.  Unfold the paper until it is in half.
 You will see fold lines marking the centre of the paper.
Making sure that you start on the fold cut the paper until the centre point.





 

5. Open the paper out carefully. 






 




6.  Fold it in half long-wise.  Take hold of each side of the paper and push it together gently until it forms a booklet.
