Finding Tale - The boy who made the world disappear

Using the narrative written by Ben Miller, I have created a unit of writing for the children to recreate their own short story using the class read as their inspiration. This is suitable for UKS2 , but can easily be adapted to for LKS2.

The text is original story is brilliantly written and the story structure screams from the page allowing children to recognise the key structures of the genre.

By the end of the unit, the children will have revised and practised 4 key areas of SPaG required for meeting end of KS2 writing expectations and written their innovated short story using a model text as inspiration.

I have written my own class model text based upon the book that has not been provided… this has been written with my class and writing targets in mind. This is an optional addition to the unit of work, however it has not been included within these resources. Please leave a review and email if you wish to see my written class model.

• additional comprehension work based on the original text can also be used here, which can also be found in resources.

Within this unit of work I have included:

1. 6 SPaG worksheets linked to the text (verb forms, active and passive voice, subordinating conjunctions and using inverted commas)
2. 9 Lesson worksheets/toppers that go with the lesson structure
3. QR codes to support the research of black holes
4. Planning - teaching sequence
