{"product_id":"characters-in-words-and-pictures-year-3","title":"Characters in Words and Pictures - Year 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eHelp Year 3 readers explain how words and illustrations portray a character and how settings and events shape a story’s mood. This five-lesson week moves from noticing an actual clue to making and testing an interpretation. Students compare what each mode adds, check a clearly labelled artist’s draft against the words, and distinguish one character’s feeling from the atmosphere of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories use familiar school, fair and library contexts. Mara gives time and a map to a visitor; Dani brings a hidden drum into the open; Imran and Pip repair a cardboard robot; Eve and Kian make room for two display pieces. The unseen Spare Lantern story assesses transfer with words and two meaningful frames. No copyrighted book purchase or audio file is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplicit modelling, guided discussion, independent practice, support extracts, extension prompts and formative decisions are included in five approximately 55-minute lessons. Evidence Jury asks students to find verbal and visual clues, hear another idea, and support or revise a claim. It is cooperative, with no points or winner. Trait claims are based on choices rather than appearance; open interpretations earn credit when the evidence fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresentation: Characters in Words and Pictures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeacher quick-start\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive complete lesson plans and teacher guidance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWords, Pictures, My Idea display\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Picture Can Add a Clue display\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMara and the Missing Map\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWords, Pictures, My Idea worksheet and sample answers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClue or Guess? cards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Repaired Drum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText Says \/ Picture Adds partner mat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Kinds of Clues worksheet and sample answers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Library Robot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Change worksheet and sample answers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViewpoint Windows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shared Display\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvidence Jury mat and 12 cards\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrator’s Decision worksheet and sample answers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spare Lantern\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuiz: Characters in Words and Pictures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWords and Pictures Assessment and sample answers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharacter Evidence Rubric\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-page Unit Plan PDF: a contents page, teacher quick-start, ten pages of complete lesson plans\/teacher guidance and 26 original resource pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditable 20-slide teaching presentation and editable 22-slide quiz (ten questions, each followed by an answer\/explanation, plus cover and closing slides).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive complete original illustrated stories: Mara and the Missing Map, The Repaired Drum, The Library Robot, The Shared Display and the fresh assessment story The Spare Lantern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo colour teaching displays; eight Clue or Guess? cards; Text Says \/ Picture Adds partner mat; four Viewpoint Windows; Evidence Jury discussion mat and 12 cooperative interpretation cards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive black-and-white response sheets, each immediately followed by a matching red sample-answer page; a four-dimension, three-level rubric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-point assessment scoring guidance and a separate 8-point analytic profile.
