    This lesson focuses on two National Curriculum objectives:

    • Check that the book makes sense to them, discussing their understanding and exploring the meaning of words in context
    • Distinguish between statements of fact and opinion
    • Retrieve, record and present information from non-fiction

    In this lesson, students will watch a clip of recently discovered footage of Queen Victoria to help engage them for the text. They will then read the biography of Queen Victoria while the teacher questions them on elements of the text. Following this, they will complete comprehension questions on the text as well as inference and true/false questions.

    This lesson is suitable to KS2 children but can easily be modified to suit KS3.
