Should children learn cookery at school? DISCUSSION TEXT Y2/3 LK2 T4W method

Should children learn cookery at school is a text I wrote and taught in a mixed Y2/3 class (very able). It teaches the children the main audience, purpose, key features and language of a discussion text, whilst providing opportunities for lots of talk and oracy activities. It is complete with vocabulary and reading tasks, a photo of a text map (boxed up in sentences for SEN support). This unit assumes basic principles of Talk for Writing, with the children orally rehearsing the text in order to assimilate the sentence structures. However, it can be used away from that assumption as a clear model for writing a discussion text.
