year 3/4 The Firework Maker's Daughter literacy planning-fantasy

Full unit of work for fantasy year 3/4 for The Firework Maker’s daughter planned using the talk for writing format. The outcome is for pupil’s to write their own version e.g. The dragon trainer’s son. This has been a very successful unit that the child in my class have thoroughly enjoyed. I would group the LA and let them generate a character and setting as a group for their outcome but for the HA and able middles I would challenge them to create their own character apply their skills but in a different context to stretch and challenge. They will need to think of an appropriate enemy to face as well but I only asked my HA to choose their own, I modeled for the rest of the class. We then created book covers as an art project using collage to design their characters outfits in keeping with the Asian theme.
