Sly Sloth Year 1 Talk for Write Original Unit

This 4 week literacy unit uses the Year 1/2 2014 National Curriculum objectives for reading and writing, and follows the T4W teaching cycle. I wrote this original text based on a south american fable when we needed something to accomapny a topic unit on animal habitats. Students learn the text by heart, use drama and role play to show their understanding of character, create story maps, write poetry, and innovate on the original text. A strong emphasis is placed on using adjectives to describe.
