This is a unit of 15 lesson on PowerPoint slides, which can be condensed or extended depending on the confidence of the class, that is based on the amazing book ‘Suffragettes: The Battle for Equality’ by David Roberts. My year 6 class absolutely loved learning about the Suffragettes -especially as extreme activism has been in the news so much recently! You will need to buy a copy of the book.
The unit consists of two ‘big writes’. A formal letter to a Prime Minister and a short story/recount about the day that the Suffragettes interrupted a parliamentary meeting. The lessons that lead up to the ‘big writes’ all teach the class the necessary grammatical elements and writing features that they can include in their writing.
Each lesson has a grammar starter and grammar embedded into it for SATs revision. Many of the lessons have differentiation for your lower attaining writers and suggestions for how to challenge your more confident writers.
I have included reading comprehensions which can be completed in your Reading lessons or for homework if you don’t have time to get through all the reading in class.
This unit can be continued after with a biography about Emmeline Pankhurst or Millicent Fawcett.

Great resource - thorough slides that I will be able to adapt easily for my class. Question for the creator, or anyone who has taught this sequence, would it matter if I did the recount first?
This resource was so easy to teach straight away. Literally bought it ten minutes before we started the unit of work and the powerpoint slides/lessons lasted us for weeks and saved me so much time. Really helpful examples of children's work and imbedded grammar perfect for a bit of SATs revision. My class loved this unit!
