Eco-Warriors, we need immediate support!
A powerful tropical storm has hit the Emerald Valley monitoring station. While the sensors are still active, the transmission has been completely scrambled, stripping away all capitalisation and punctuation from critical field reports.
Without these logs, the team can’t deploy reforestation drones or assess the health of the ecosystem. Your students must step in to restore the data.
It’s a progressive, mission-driven grammar challenge designed to support mixed-ability classrooms through built-in differentiation, scaffolding, and extension.
This no-prep, narrative-driven editing challenge is perfect for Year 5-6 students.
What’s Inside?
This resource includes three levels of Differentiated Instruction to meet every learner's needs:
-
Level 1: Focuses on punctuation (full stops and capitalisation), commas in a series, and apostrophes for contraction.
-
Level 2: Targets fronted adverbials, proper nouns, apostrophes for possession, and question marks.
-
Level 3: Includes relative clauses, subordinating conjunctions, and complex sentences.
Bonus: Optional Fast Finisher Page! This pack includes a follow-up task requiring students to use Inference and Drawing Conclusions skills. Students must help restore the forest by answering questions about the ecosystem and the restoration team's goals.
