Google Slides NSW Stage 3 English Unit 4: Spotlight | Components A & B

This bundle includes fully-editable Google Slides (that can be downloaded as PowerPoint, pdf, etc.) to complement your teaching of the NSW Department of Education Stage 3 English Unit 4: Spotlight (Imagery, Symbol and Connotation). There is also a PDF file for the Component A program/lessons. Outcome mapping for Component A and B is included in the DoE unit itself.

These slides are designed to be user-friendly for any classroom with an IWB or other projected screen.

For Component B, the slides are as true as possible to the original prompts, examples and LISC from the DoE unit as I could make them. Please be aware that there are certain slides that require you to insert pages from the mentor text 'Spotlight' yourself. Prompts are written directly on the slides in red text boxes.

The slides are best viewed in 'present' mode, particularly because some of the slides have answers to questions for students that will pop up AFTER students have been given a chance to discuss.

The speaker notes in the slides have also been used to put any extra, helpful information, such as the differentiation prompts for assessment (written as 'Too easy?' or 'Too hard?'- as per the DoE unit).

For Component A, The LISC (Learning Intentions and Success Criteria) have been selected from Year 5, Term 2 (late) as per the following:
