Learning Objectives: (3/4)
That the pupil will be enabled to:
1. Read independently for 7 minutes and completing worksheets based on the book if they
finish early.
2. Summarise what has happened in the story so far and infer what may happen.
3. Engage in group work to complete the station they are working at and then report back as a
group at the end of the lesson.
Resources:
Station resources, class novel, worksheet booklets

Introduction:
I will question the children as to what they have read so far in the book by summarising. I will
then get the children to infer from what they have read so far and discuss what they believe
may happen in the rest of the book and why they have inferred this.
Development:
I will ask the children to move into their English groups. I will check that the group
leaders know what station they will be looking at today. I will recap each of the
stations briefly so the children know what is happening at each station. The leaders
will hand out the novel.
I will pre-teach any vocabulary in the next couple of pages that the children may
not know. I will discuss these words with the children to ensure they understand.
The children will then start reading independently. I will remind them to infer while
they read and that if they finish as far as page 52 that they must use their
worksheets on the novel to recap on what they have read.( D: I will listen
independently to C to help them and keep them focused.)
After their 7 minutes the children will be told to leave their books to one side and
the leaders will collect them. The leaders will then get the station work that they
will be working on today. They will work as a group for 15 minutes. I will walk
around and consult with each group as they work.
I will sit with one of the groups to ensure they understand what they must do in
order to complete the station work. I will question the children as they work to
ensure they are getting the most out of what they are doing.
The group leaders will tidy up the station work for the day after the 15 minutes and
everyone will go back to their normal places.
Recap and Closure:
After they are back in their places I will ask the children to report back on what they were doing
at each of the stations and how they found the station that they were working at. I will question
them to see how they worked as a group together to complete the task.
