ELA Unit Description
Young Tristan, rescues all sorts of objects from the rubbish dump, finds an old Viewmaster in its box, complete with a set of disks. He finds that these represent the ages of humankind, seen as a cyclical structure in which patterns of growth and decay are repeated. Tristan becomes more and more drawn in to the world of the disks, and eventually disappears. These ideas would fit well with Environment, Through the ages, Explorers, Travel Livello adopts a thematic approach by using picture books and texts as an exciting springboard for learning. "Livello Modules' innovative and proven approach will help teachers to take their teaching from good to great by giving them a secure and supportive starting point from which to build exciting lessons."
