Books
and Teaching Sequences
The
Power of Pictures teaching sequences illustrate how to read picturebooks in the
classroom, exploring how words and illustrations combine to tell a story and to
share the creative processes a published writer goes through to create a
narrative in words and pictures.
Each
book chosen for inclusion in the project has three teaching sequences attached
to it, to show how this process can be differentiated to use across a school,
from EYFS to Year 6 creating a community of readers and writers exploring and
writing together.
Each
sequence lasts for approximately 4 weeks and is broken down into 2 weeks of
studying a focus picturebook and 2 weeks for children to work on their own
published writing. The final 2 weeks guide children through a clear model for
the teaching of writing that allows them to be supported as independent writers
in a way that is built around the real processes of practicing writers.
The
process leads them from ideation before beginning writing, through providing
opportunities for reading, thinking, discussing, drawing and note making before
embarking on the creation of a text.
Plenty of opportunity is built in for genuine reflection and feedback on
the content of the writing before the piece is finally published as an
authentic picturebook.
