Literacy Challenges for the More Able: A Collection of Mini Projects: Bk. 2

by Bernard Connors (Illustrator), Shelagh Moore, Kate Wright

This is a collection of mini projects to develop pupils literacy skills. Planning for the more able has always been a formidable task. This book provides all the support and guidance needed to ensure successful management of a small group of more able children within the everyday timetable. Each book contains ten mini projects called 'challenges' that are designed to be carried out by the more able child either working independently or in a small group. Each lesson can be introduced to the class as a whole but genuinely 'stretches' the able child. Each challenge requires the pupils to plan and then carry out a set of tasks over a 3 to 6 week period in order to produce a specific end result. They develop time management skills, think logically, undertake research, use knowledge appropriately and learn to evaluate effectively.
