Shine a fi nal unit project broken down into diff erentiated steps to allow every student to showcase their achievements A step-by-step approach

Rise and Shine builds confi dence in using English through a learning cycle of exposure, recognition, controlled practice, and freer practice. Each activity is designed to support students to build on what they have already learned and work towards a clear task at the end of each stage of the unit. The I can shine box consolidates the learning of each stage into an activity explicitly linked to the learning objective. This gives students the opportunity to pause and refl ect on how confi dent they feel with the material in an age-appropriate way. These activities build to the fi nal Time to shine task at the end of the unit, where students are supported through the steps to create and present a project of their own. Clear progress and accessible learning outcomes

Rise and Shine is built on the Global Scale of English, which helps students understand exactly what they are learning and why. It is designed so that students are always aware of their learning goals for the unit and are able to chart their progress at the end of each stage of the unit through a clear I can shine activity. Rise and Shine is also designed for use in inclusive and mixed-ability classrooms. It helps all students achieve their learning goals, while recognizing that this will look diff erent for diff erent students. Activities and lessons are structured to be increasingly challenging to allow all students to achieve. Rise and Shine recognizes that teachers need their time to shine, too! Ideas to support and stretch individual students are off ered in each lesson, alongside clear teaching notes divided by lesson stage. Each I can shine activity is supported by a framework of Achieve, Adjust, Exceed to empower teachers to assess progress at each stage of the unit. Development of future skills and global citizenship

English is more than just a school subject in the 21st century – it is a medium through which children learn about life and global and local issues that are relevant to them. Rise and Shine supports and guides students on their own learning journey through dedicated helpers in each stage of the unit. Just like the characters in their favorite adventure stories, students face exciting tasks that help them build a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them, all the while working towards clear learning goals.

Welcome to the Great Places team

Each level of Rise and Shine takes place in a diff erent setting that is relatable to students but off ers opportunities to explore. Level 5 takes place in and around the City Hall, where we meet the following main characters: Bella, Sam, Nadia, Leo, and Alex. Students will relate to the importance of the local community as the characters work together to complete projects in time for the Great Places Festival, where they hope to showcase everything the area where they live has to off er.
