This download includes all slides and resources for a 10 lesson writing sequence, inspired by the text Gorilla by Anthony Browne. It produced very successful writing outcomes for a Year 3 cohort but could be tailored for other year groups. The writing sequence is built up of initial text exploration, where children produce short writing pieces related to the text. From Lesson 5 onwards, children plan, draft, revise and edit a sequel to the original story, in which Hannah & Gorilla head off on a new adventure! The download includes: Ready-to-go lesson slides (Notebook format) that are user friendly and take the teacher through the writing sequence step-by-step Clearly organised and user-friendly resources for 10 lessons including a starter for every lesson, activities, differentiated versions and word mats A PDF of the text A book cover page to go into writing books Lesson sequence: L1 - Predicting L2 - Writing from a character’s perspective L3 - Expanded noun phrases L4 - Using adverbs in a diary L5 - Planning L6 - Planning L7 - Drafting L8 - Drafting L9 - Revising & editing L10 - Blurb writing If you enjoy or have any feedback when delivering this lesson sequence, a review or comment would be appreciated!
