What exactly does each Story Tools lesson look like?

Each lesson contains so many great resources. You get:

• A high-quality video resource (6-9 min) to introduce the lesson topic to help kickstart kids' curiosity and understanding of the lesson objective.

• A comprehensive lesson plan.

• Pre and post watching discussion prompts.

• Detailed activities to support each lesson.

• Outline of intended Learning Objectives for educators.

• Clearly defined success criteria for educators.

• Additional activity ideas (for the speedy ones!).

• Curriculum alignments and objectives in teacher lesson plans.

• Fun bios of the creators.

• Downloadable and printable worksheets and resources, aimed separately at Upper Primary children (Years 5 to 6), and Middle Primary students (Years 3 and 4) for classroom use. For libraries, there are downloadable and printable resources to suit children from Years 3 to 6.

• Examples/exemplars of work so children can see where they are going, and what success looks like.

• Reference posters and visual aids.

Some of the lessons ALSO include games and scavenger hunt-type activities. These invite children to explore different books to help find examples of storytelling concepts that have been introduced in the video.
