Description

Dive deep into Myths and Legends, Fables & Fairy Tales with our Stories Through Time Time Travel Adventure. Imagine your students have been taken in a time machine back in time. To get back to the present day they need to complete tasks and collect mosaic tiles. Once their mosaic tile is complete, they can use the time machine to get home.
 
Along the way, they read 18 current (2014-2019) Junior Journals and Level 2 and 3 School Journals. They complete activities that promote higher-order thinking and the use of reading comprehension strategies. Click here to see which journal stories are included.
 
***This resource is suitable for Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6 students in New Zealand. It would also suit lower level readers in Year 7 and 8***

  • 8 Level Two Journal Stories
  • 7 Level Three Journal Stories
2. 18 Sets of Follow Up Reading Activities
  • A table that highlights the journal name, the article or story name, the reading and thinking skills included in the follow-up activities, and the name of the creative activity that is included.
  • Two follow up activities for each journal article or story.
  • The first activity includes Remember, Understand, Apply, and Evaluate higher-order thinking skills and a range of reading comprehension skills including finding specific information, making inferences, making connections, using prior knowledge, summarising, using evidence, and sharing opinions. Do all or some of the activities.
