An engaging fifteen lesson writing unit, leading students towards writing their own newspaper article based on a fictional event: a school has lost its gravity!

This would make a great unit to be taught alongside a Science unit on forces, or as a way to revisit Scientific knowledge.

The first ten lessons explore text type, followed by sentence and word level work. The unit uses differentiated example text types throughout to support students understanding.
