Room on the Broom - Story Sequencing - PowerPoint

English Teaching Resources are available to guide students through the delightful narrative of 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson. The lesson plan includes a PowerPoint presentation aimed at helping children to read and then recount the story in their own words. The story sequencing activity is designed to enhance comprehension and storytelling skills. It begins with reading the first part of the story, up to the point where the dog joins the witch on the broom. Students are encouraged to volunteer and recap the events using visual aids provided in the slides, which help to jog their memory and reinforce the sequence of events.

After the initial storytelling, children are given worksheets to retell the first part of 'Room on the Broom' using both pictures and a word bank. This exercise helps them to articulate what is happening in the story and to practice writing. As the lesson progresses, the students continue reading subsequent parts of the book, each time stopping to summarize the events with the assistance of corresponding worksheets. These recap worksheets are not only a tool for comprehension but also for practicing writing and vocabulary skills. By the end of the lesson, students will have worked through the entire book, using images and word banks to assist in retelling the full story of the witch and her growing number of companions on the broom.
