This is 3 units of English planning that produce a charity leaflet, descriptive poetry or an alternative ending. These lessons were planned for a year 4 class but they could be easily adapted up or down. All the planning includes all the resources and worksheets so you can start teaching them tomorrow.

This bundle includes 3 units of work with all the resources and display elements you will need for your Working Walls. The 3 units are: Diary Extract in Role based on Street Child by Berlie Doherty Explanatory Texts based on Cracking Contraptions by Wallace and Gromit & Until I Met Dudley by Roger McGough Persuasive Letter based on Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson These units of work use the 3 stage planning process of: • Stimulate and generate • Capture, sift and sort • Create, refine and evaluate Stimulate and generate = This usually starts with a hook to interest the class where the class realise who they are going to write for so they have a clear purpose and audience. Acticitives can include reading excellent model texts, drama or researching more about the author or the content of the book. Capture, sift and sort = This is the part of the unit where pupils look at key features, practise skills they will need in order to complete the final piece or new learning for objectives they have not learnt yet. Create, refine, evaluate = This is where you bring all you have learnt together and plan the final piece before you write it and then edit it to improve the piece. This can include self, peer or teacher led reviewing.
