This fun craft provides an engaging way for students to apply comprehension strategies before, during or after reading a set text.   This versatile activity can be used with any text and is an ideal choice for students exploring comprehension strategies, such as predicting, visualising or summarising.   Your students will love drawing pictures in the four sections of the circle template in response to a text they have listened to, viewed or read. Students will then cut and assemble the template pieces to construct a telescope that will allow them to view the pictures drawn on the circle. They will also have the opportunity to practise their speaking and listening skills as they share their telescopes with their peers and describe what they see as they turn the circle.   In addition to printing the telescope templates on A4 or A3 card, you will need to provide flexible straws, tape and glue so that your students can assemble their telescopes.   More detailed instructions on how to assemble the telescope and an example are included in the resource!
