Students follow a clear and logical
learning journey, in which they: - Define the different story genres and understand their key
content features; - Understand the key features of different genres through interesting movie clips; - Work collaboratively using the
jigsaw method to ascertain the language features (vocabulary, sentences, descriptive devices) of different genres; - Engage with a number of interesting story extracts (Louis Sachar - Holes, JK Rowling - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Darren Shan - The Vampire's Assistant, Jeff Kinney - Diary of a Wimpy Kid.)
Jigsaw Jigsaw is a form of cooperative
learning where students become «experts» on the
content or materials and teach each other the key terminology, understandings and
learnings of the research or analysis of the text.
