Hello, today I was covering a lesson on Rivers and it is really hard to find a map of the UK/ world and be able to label the different rivers on it. I love the example of this type of activity on your rivers page, however I would really a map that the pupils could plot the rivers onto. I would welcome your comments on this.
Thanks for your great suggestion Kate. This is definitely something that we can add in the future.
This pack was perfect as a foundation for my fifth grade intermediate EAL students. The colourful photographs and diagrams caught their attention and just enough information on each page meant they never felt overwhelmed.
One general suggestion I have for all such packs would be to include a list of suggestions for supplementary books and further reading. It would help to have both fiction and information titles in order to stretch and differentiate within the classroom.
Please keep the fantastic materials coming!
Perfect for my Year 3’s (however, teeny spelling error on the vocabulary labels. Oxbow Lake says Oxbox Lake)
Hi Anj. Thanks for your review. I have just corrected this typo!
As usual a great resource from Teaching Packs. The pack has enough information to guide the children when producing work about rivers. I've used the information alongside other resources and it has really complemented the children's work in allowing them to easily access facts that they may otherwise have to spend time on the internet or researching in books. The level is set appropriately for my year 4 children and challenges them in parts with things such as new vocabulary. Great information - Thanks!
One of the things I appreciate about Teaching Packs is their thoroughness in each pack. In looking at the River pack, for example, you will find well laid out pages with a combination of real picture images combined with computer-generated illustrations. My teacher training is in the Montessori teaching system. For example, Montessori uses nomenclature cards. They are best described as a picture with a word description. The student then matches up each word with each picture. Each river example has a picture with several attributes associated with it. In this Pack, there are 15 famous rivers from around the world. Using the Montessori Method, of cutting up the descriptions and separating them from the pictures, students mix and match until they have recreated each picture with all the correct attributes. Using the originals sheets, students can self-check their work. I know each student will have a thorough knowledge of rivers when they have completed this unit.
Because I teach in missionary schools, supplies are thin. Teaching Packs covers a wide variety of subjects to keep the students interested. I use Teaching Packs to set up workstations throughout the classroom to keep students engaged in the learning process. Each month the workstation get changed to keep the students interested in the learning process.
This mini-pack contains vibrant and detailed illustrations very appealing to young (and older) eyes.Students love looking at the word wall options and matching meanings to the illustrations. There is a choice of individual, partner and small group options to cater for learning styles and preferences. Great package thank you!
We study river civilizations. I am so excited about this mini-pack! This pack takes our information source to a deeper level and once again, the graphics are vivid and interesting to the students.
