Book excerpt: Galaxy Trotters Activities balance the three strands of English Language, Literature and Literacy by engaging students in a variety of tasks. English Language activities include the creation of language. Literacy skills are developed by the use of phonics and whole word experiences. The texts within the novel vary and include songs, poetry and The Grand Ham’s Guide to the Anti-matter Galaxy. Humour ensures enjoyment in this action-packed adventure. Cloze Activities focus on the effect of language and include word classes such as verbs and prepositions. Vocabulary activities, including Spelling Tests and a Word Tracker help students to identify new and challenging language. Much of the language may be familiar to students, but the rich plethora of vocabulary will provide them with opportunities to become confident spellers. Often students will be familiar with the words but may need to master spelling and may be encouraged to use online quizzes and flashcards. Students also have opportunities to speak and to research a range of ethical, sustainable and social justice issues relevant to Australian Curriculum Priorities. These include · pollution, global emissions and greening planets, · power sources · gender roles · genius and giftedness · honesty and dishonesty · Australia’s unique indigenous environments. · Bullying The novel is geared to entertaining students in the classroom, so it is very exciting. These activities enable students to engage in the novel as a launching pad to explore relevant and interesting issues. Plot outlines, character summaries, themes, settings, the movement of time, the structure of the novel are also discussed in this resource. The Galaxy Trotters Activities offer students the opportunities to become complex thinkers, and to reflect on global issues affecting our planet. Students and teachers can present ideas and information in visual presentations, including artwork and a Galaxy Trotters Quest Game.
