US26624 Reading - V6 - Lead Article

Flip through this resource here.
This resource guides students through one of the three reading activities required to complete the level one Unit Standard 26624 Read texts with understanding (version 6). It is part of a collection of tasks about Jane Elliot’s classroom experiment about discrimination.  (See Plan Your Thematic Programme for details.) Students read an article about a school in New Zealand who ran a similar activity, then find information about what went well and what didn’t.  
 
(Note:  this is an updated version – you may already have this task in version 5.  Version 5 is still applicable - don't panic!  There are no changes to requirements except that implicit ideas need only be found for one of the three texts now, not all three.  But if you want the fancy pants new one, with answers this time...)
 
This product includes:
A completely editable student booklet which can be typed into if shared digitally or written on if printed. As it’s editable, this means teachers you can tweak it to suit your  own needs.
