Introductory Statement
Units have been designed to exemplify ways of using the ELCG to develop learning
and teaching activities. Furthermore, the unit includes learning intentions and
assessment approaches relevant to Key Stage 2.
These units reflect the integrated learning approach central to the four language skills
on page 69-70 of the ELCG as well as in Appendix 5 of ELE KLACG 2017 focusing on
reading and writing. The units emphasise the need for student-centered activities that
incorporate the three generic strands into the Keys 2 Literacy Development (Keys2).
Units are written to develop students’ reading and writing skills progressively over all
the levels of Key Stage 2. The units build on and reference previous programmes
developed by the NET Section, CDI, EDB, HKSAR.
This P.4 unit uses the book, The Fun Bus. It has been specifically designed to continue
the development of reading and writing skills.
It also incorporates:
B. Unit Organisation
The lessons are designed to be taught in a consecutive series. This block approach
provides for consistent and optimal learning opportunities.
Some lessons are designed to be taught within a double lesson (two single lessons
back to back) for continuity of learning.
Resources are provided every time you see the code (2.1a). This translates to ‘Unit 2,
Lesson 1, Resource a).
‘Teacher Talk’ is provided to give teachers more information about activities and to
assist them to explain activities to their students. A hyperlink to ‘Teacher Talk’ is
indicated by in the bottom right-hand corner of an activity.
Videos are provided for teacher reference for some activities. A hyperlink to a video is
indicated by in the bottom right-hand corner of an activity.
Suggestions for e-learning opportunities are provided for schools which would like to
incorporate e-learning in their English language curriculum. A hyperlink to e-learning
is indicated by in the bottom right-hand corner of an activity.
Suggestions for differentiation opportunities are provided for schools to cater for the
learner’s needs. A hyperlink to the differentiated materials is indicated by in the
bottom right-hand corner of an activity.

2. Writing
Guided Reading and Home Reading are recommended to be carried out weekly
through-out the school year. Although these units of work do not specifically include
Guided Reading and Home Reading, they are strongly recommended. When Guided
Reading is scheduled, two teachers are needed for that lesson. Schools requiring
assistance in implementing Guided Reading can refer to the Keys2 Guided Reading
and Home Reading Packs.
The units have been developed to cater for different students’ needs. This has been
done through, differentiated texts and differentiated task requirements. Suggestions
will be provided in the lesson plan accordingly.
Cooperative learning strategies are strategies that allow the students to work together
to learn and solve problems. Cooperative learning also allows students to learn more
about social interaction and how to work well with others. Students get very excited
and love to participate in cooperative learning strategies.
Self-managing activities have been included in the unit to cater for the needs of early
finishers. Teachers can select the tasks they feel are most appropriate for their
students. The resources can be found in the ‘Self-managing Activities’ folder.
L. Portfolios
Samples of learners’ written work such as worksheets, first and final writing drafts, lists
of achieved high frequency words, personal vocabulary lists and self-assessment
sheets can be included in a portfolio. Students can analyse their work to see their
strengths and weaknesses and plan some personal goals. Students can take their
portfolios home to share their work with parents/guardians, while teachers can refer to
portfolios to analyse students’ learning.
Unit Outcomes
The main reading focus of this unit is to revisit and further explore a narrative text.
Within this unit, students will use a narrative text with a focus on reading with
expression and dialogue. The narrative text will be used as stimulus to motivate the
students to create their own imaginary recount. Students will be aware of the text-type
features of a recount which include an orientation, events and an ending.
Reading
Writing
These strategies can be found at the top of each activity in the lesson plan.
References:
Teachers monitor students at all stages of the writing process. They provide a positive
environment where it is safe to make mistakes.
N. Editing Code
An editing key includes symbols that teachers may use to indicate errors in students’
writing. It allows teachers to support students in proof-reading their mistakes without
doing the correction for them. No more than two to three symbols should be used at
one time. This will allow teachers and students a specific focus when editing.
(sp) (umbrella)
(sp) spelling My umbella was at school.
(t) (bought)
(t) tense I buy ice-cream yesterday.
(pl) (apples)
(pl) plural Bananas and apple are delicious.
(w) (taller)
(w) wrong word Tom was tallest than John.
(to)
^ missing word(s) I want send this letter.
^
(/)
(/) extra word The student she studies often.
O. Writing Checklist
A checklist helps students understand the features of the writing task. Teachers need
to introduce the checklist for students’ reference in the drafting lessons and inform
them it will be used as a guide in the revising and editing lessons. The checklist is
specific to the text-type. It will be used for self and peer assessment.
