The Snow Spider - Session 9 - Worksheet

The 'Snow Spider - Session 9' worksheet, part of the educational resources from KS2Gems, offers a comprehensive session focused on the return of characters and the resolution of the story. Discussion questions delve into the dynamics of Gwyn and Alun's changing relationship, the reasons behind Eirlys's departure, Gwyn's choice to stay, and the significance of the house feeling full again. These thought-provoking questions aim to develop students' reading comprehension and analytical skills, encouraging them to engage deeply with the text.

Reading activities include creating a timeline to track the events of the story, exploring its themes, completing a book review, and engaging in reading comprehension exercises. Grammar and punctuation are also addressed, with resources available to practice using semi-colons, colons, conjunctions, prepositions, expanded noun phrases, and understanding the difference between main and subordinate clauses. A 'Words to Workshop' section provides a list of vocabulary to enhance students' language skills. Writing opportunities are varied, including diary entries, letters, book reviews, newspaper reports, and missing person's reports, all designed to foster creative expression and consolidate understanding of the narrative. Cross-curricular links extend the learning experience into science, computing, geography, dance, music, and PSHE, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the material and its relevance to a broad range of subjects.
