We have lots of different Organ Systems. Can
you name any?

These are just examples of a few, we will be covering

a lot of them in more detail over the next few weeks!
Together all of these organ systems make an
organism like you!

Paired Reading
Label yourself A and B in pairs. A will read on
of the sheets. B will read the other. You have 3
minutes of silent reading. Complete the flow
chart at the bottom of the sheet.

Now that you’re an expert on that organ system

you have 2 minutes to teach the other person
about that system. A’s have 2 minutes first, then
B’s will go
 Whiteboards at the ready!

Extended writing
An alien has landed and has threatened to dissect lots of
humans to gain an understanding of how the human body is
organised!!! Your task is to write to him to explain how the
human body is organised from a cell up to a whole organism
so that he doesn’t feel the need to chop us all up!!!!

Use the grading sheet to progress as far as you can!.

You can use the literacy mats and dictionaries to help with

Peer Assessment
Swap your work with somebody on your bench.

Peer assess their work using the writing guide.

Think about what kind of progress they have made,

what they have done well and what they could
improve on. Fill the box below.
Make sure your feedback is about the quality of the
writing and the content not just ‘I liked it’!
