Year 5 Homework - Redraft Comprehension Podcast Scripts

Over the next two nights you are going to redraft your script for the comprehension techniques pupil podcast. Decide with your partner who is going to do it tonight, and who is going to work on it tomorrow.

Go to to the 'Year 5 comprehension podcast area of our pupil wiki by clicking here, and read my comments on your script in the discussion area.

Then redraft your script, improving it based on my suggestions. Visit 'How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Comprehension' for top tips!

Don't forget, the best way to learn something is often to try and teach it to someone else, because you have to think through the ideas.
